Critical Conversations: Teaching and Creating Community in Difficult Times
H-Net’s theme for this year’s conference, “Critical
Conversations: Teaching and Creating Community in Difficult Times,” will
resonate with teachers at all levels of the educational system and especially
those in the humanities and social sciences. In an era when educators are under
assault for teaching Critical Race Theory, implementing Diversity, Equity, and
Inclusion initiatives, and subjected to various external forces regarding
curriculum development, book bans, and course redesigns, this conference will
be a gathering to navigate these challenges and discuss solutions and
strategies in the face of threats to academic freedom.
We welcome individual, panel, and roundtable proposals on any
and all aspects of teaching, including the scholarship of teaching and learning
(SOTL), theories and methodologies, remote and hybrid learning, content and
delivery, as well as combining research interests into the classroom for
first-year students and non-majors. We also encourage those with unique
classroom experiences or teaching methodologies to submit proposals for
workshops to present their approach to teaching or discuss topics of
note.
The conference will be held in a virtual format spread over the
evenings (US central time zone) during the week of August 21. Presenters will
be invited to opt-in to have their sessions recorded for future reference via
the H-Net Commons. Selected presenters will be invited to publish their
work in the H-Net Conference Proceedings publication.
All
proposals should include a title, CVs, email addresses for all presenters, and
abstracts of no more than 200 words. Submissions are encouraged to focus on any
of the following themes:
- Challenges and strategies for
teaching humanities and social sciences at all levels;
- Navigating the teaching, or the
politics of, topics related to our contemporary environment, such as DEI,
CRT, BIPOC, religious and ethnic themes, reproductive rights, LGBTQIA+,
etc.
- Recommendations for specific
strategies for success despite contemporary challenges.
No pre-recorded sessions will be accepted. Please email submissions to
H-Net Teaching Conference Committee at teach.history@mail.h-net.org by
Saturday, May 27, 2023.
