“Light Bulb” Moments in the Humanities Classroom


Event Details

  • Date:

A virtual Zoom workshop organized by TLH faculty fellows.

What does a transformative moment in the classroom look or sound like? In this event, five Mellon TLH Faculty Fellows from different CUNY campuses will each present examples of active learning from their courses, sharing the work of their students and engaging student voices in this interactive workshop. Through the disciplines of German, Geography, Music, Spanish, and Fashion, we will demonstrate how collaborative pedagogy helps us build a sense of community in the classroom and beyond.

Accessibility: We will have ASL interpreters and live CART captioning for the event.
