Making it work and making it matter
Baruch College’s General Education Committee devised this year's theme (Gen Ed: Making it Work and Making it Matter ) to be broad enough to include all aspects of General Education. We are particularly interested in areas such as best practices and assessment (Does our teaching work? How do we know?) and student engagement (Do students care? What might encourage them to care?). We’re very interested in innovative approaches such as learning communities, e-portfolios, and service learning — how we use them and how we know whether they work. Proposals on these and other topics will be gratefully received.
Keynot speaker: Louis Menand

The Praxis of Feminist Pedagogy
The Feminist Pedagogy Conference is a venue for conversation between scholars, students and activists across disciplines around the present state of feminist pedagogy and work on gender, both within and beyond the academy. This year's conference includes panels and papers on a wide array of issues, ranging from teaching for social justice, to feminist pedagogy in the museum setting, to teaching survivors of war trauma.
Michelle Fine will give the keynote address entitled, "Slanted practices of inquiry and pedagogy."
Through the conference we aim to create a space where people can discuss the politics, problems, and transformative potential of feminist pedagogical practices in classrooms and community settings.
See http://web.gc.cuny.edu/womenstudies/wgp for a complete schedule and registration information, or contact organizers Pamela Burger and Jennifer Sugg at feministpedagogy@gmail.com.
You and your colleagues are invitated to attend the
8th Annual CUNY IT Conference - December 4, 2009 at John Jay College.
This year's conference, again chaired by George Otte, has somehow managed to surpass previous conferences in both the quantity and quality of the presentations, as a look at the program will confirm, but it also builds on prior successes -- notably with the return, by popular demand, of last year's highly successful keynoter, David Pogue, New York Times technology columnist, Emmy-winning CBS news correspondent, and best-selling author.
The Conference begins at 9:15am with Check-in for Registrants, Vendor Exhibits, and Breakfast. The first set of concurrent presentations will start at 9:45am. At 11:00am, we will hear from our Keynote speaker, David Pogue. Lunch will be provided from 12:10pm -2:10 in the Exhibit area. Concurrent presentations will resume at 12:40pm and continue to 4:00pm, followed by a wrap-up session in the Exhibit area. A special feature of the day will be the presentation of the 5th Annual Mike Ribaudo Award for Technological Innovation.
The Conference Program is available at the URL below, which also links to the Conference e-registration application. Given previous years' "full house" attendance, I urge you to register in advance. Registration is free to all members of the CUNY community, but space is limited.
