[FUN_Mail] FUN Final Friday - March 31 - Cross and Interdisciplinary courses

[Amy Jo Stavnezer]

Good morning FUN friends,

Join us this Friday, March 31 at 4 pm (EDT) to continue thinking about thriving in the changing landscape of higher education. This month we will focus on cross and inter-disciplinary Neuroscience courses. The Higher Ed literature indicates that newer faculty have increased inter- and cross-disciplinary training and interests, that our diversified student body wants more connection to their lived experiences, and that reduced faculty lines and efficiency in cross-listing courses is likely to be our long-term future.

Several FUN members will discuss their courses that cross into or cross-list with Art, Women and Gender Studies, Film, and Philosophy. They will share their experiences with the power of making connections with student’s lived experiences, how different perspectives impact scientific inquiry, and dealing with potential barriers to teaching credit and enrollment. Following the panel discussion we hope others will share their experiences and engage in dialogue together.

Come and gather ideas on how to offer classes that serve lots of different types of students, that are always full, and that make us indispensable to our institutions!

Friday, March 31 at 4 pm (EDT) – Register Here<https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAscOqrpzsjHNA6R472q2tfQ5EfATNLLpM1>.

Your FUN Final Friday Team,
Amy Jo, Shannon, Barbara, and David

   Good morning FUN friends,


   Join us this Friday, March 31 at 4 pm (EDT) to continue thinking about
   thriving in the changing landscape of higher education. This month we
   will focus on cross and inter-disciplinary Neuroscience courses. The
   Higher Ed literature indicates that newer faculty have increased inter-
   and cross-disciplinary training and interests, that our diversified
   student body wants more connection to their lived experiences, and that
   reduced faculty lines and efficiency in cross-listing courses is likely
   to be our long-term future.


   Several FUN members will discuss their courses that cross into or
   cross-list with Art, Women and Gender Studies, Film, and Philosophy.
   They will share their experiences with the power of making connections
   with student’s lived experiences, how different perspectives impact
   scientific inquiry, and dealing with potential barriers to teaching
   credit and enrollment. Following the panel discussion we hope others
   will share their experiences and engage in dialogue together.


   Come and gather ideas on how to offer classes that serve lots of
   different types of students, that are always full, and that make us
   indispensable to our institutions!
