Teacher Identity in the Writing Classroom

How do we understand ourselves as teachers, and how does that understanding align or clash with how students, colleagues, and the university see us? Drawing on research, this seminar invites faculty and graduate teaching fellows to reflect on how teaching identities are shaped by classroom practice, student feedback, institutional evaluation, and introspection. We will also explore the emotional, social, and structural aspects of teaching today, including questions of visibility, recognition, and professional judgment. Facilitated by Abir Ward, the seminar meets Mondays March 16, 23, 30, and April 6, 3:30-4:45 on Zoom.
