Service to the Practice

I regularly participate in pedagogical training, consultations, and initiatives to promote effective instruction. Some recent activities have included:

• Assisting in the development of a database of resources for faculty at Bryant about teaching before, during, and after the 2024 election with several colleagues and the Center for Teaching Excellence.
• Co-authoring a guide to best practices on political discussion in the classroom.
• Coordinating a speaker series to give students the opportunity to hear and learn from scholars who study underrepresented minorities.
