Theory is intimidating, regardless of how familiar one might be with it. What can we do to make it accessible—if not also exciting—for our undergraduate students? This graduate student workshop will tackle how to teach theory in the undergraduate classroom, focusing specifically on the role theory plays in discussion-based or seminar-style classes.

All graduate students are welcome. This event grows out of concerns in the English department, and so may be most useful to students in related fields.

Counts toward the CETLI Teaching Certificate.
