顿别蝉肠谤颈辫迟颈辞苍:听Interested in Book Clubs, but short on time? Join in for this one-off Journal Club! This is a one-hour, casual conversation focused on Godbold et al.鈥檚 (2021) paper:聽The Courage to SoTL.

As Godbold et al share: 鈥�The courage to SoTL is also about the courage it takes to engage in the scholarship of teaching and learning. In part, it is simply the act of naming oneself as a SoTL scholar鈥� Just as Palmer speaks to 鈥渢he teacher within鈥� who leads us to work that gladdens us, so too are many of us drawn to the work of teaching, learning, and educational development because it speaks to our inner selves and gladdens us.鈥�

Along with sharing our questions, inquiries, critiques, and/or praise for the article, we鈥檒l also discuss several of the reflective questions provided in the paper, including: What does being a SoTL scholar mean to you? What does an undivided life, as a SoTL scholar, look like? What have we learned about our own SoTL identities, and from others鈥� identities and experiences?

Reading the article in advance is recommended to encourage richer and deeper conversations, though all are very welcome to attend!
