Can engaging with community make you a better instructor in the social sciences or humanities? Why should graduate students and postdoctoral fellows who wish to pursue teaching as a career prioritize community engagement? How do Arts instructors bring community engagement into their classrooms? This event will invite those interested in becoming educators to consider how community engagement sets them apart in a competitive job market.
This free event is targeted at Arts graduate students and postdoctoral fellows, but is open to all UBC students, postdocs, staff and faculty members.
