If you’re passionate about sharing your knowledge with others, you can pursue a rewarding career on your own terms as an online educational entrepreneur. You can do so in tandem with, or instead of, teaching at the academy. Most importantly, you will learn how to harness your doctorate in a fulfilling teaching career, irrespective of the state of the tenure-track job market. In this workshop, Raj Balkaran shares key insights on his journey founding the School of Applied Mythology, a digital academy for meaningful learning. This workshop lays the foundation for successful educational entrepreneurship, including (1) content creation; (2) curriculum design; (3) sales and marketing strategy; and (4) effective digital pedagogy.

However, teaching opportunities can also be used to expand your skills for beyond the classroom. In an academic world where promising graduate students cannot count on landing professor positions, future teaching careers may not be in the cards for everyone, so we need to find creative ways to translate graduate teaching experience into other professional realms. In this workshop, we will discuss a variety of basic and innovative teaching techniques that can be used to develop transferable skills for the non-teaching aspects of your academic or alt-ac career. In addition to making yourself a more well-rounded teacher, learning to think in this way should also help you to be more maneuverable in the job market.

But how exactly can we implement these methods in college and university Religious Studies classrooms? This Roundtable session will go over simple but effective strategies for both instructors and teaching assistants to create a student-centered learning environment. These strategies are derived from both the educational literature and personal experience in both capacities. Attendees will leave with concrete examples of how to implement student-centered learning in addition to a resource list to aid in additional investigation into student-centered learning activities and principles. In order to see student-centered learning in practice, this session will leave time for a discussion and brainstorming session at the end to workshop some ideas and/or problems particular to instituting student-centered learning in the study of religion.

The syllabus handouts that will be provided model this method for a range of religious studies courses. In addition to genre-based instruction, some of the courses also attempt to integrate two other valuable pedagogical techniques in the context of religious studies: critical pedagogy and technology-supplemented pedagogy. Although the roundtable focuses primarily on the value of genre-based pedagogy as an innovative intervention in religious studies pedagogy, we will also discuss the importance of instructors’ cultivation of critical literacy and use of a variety of media and methods. Genre-based instruction helps cultivate a number of discipline-specific and domain-general skills valued by students and instructional institutions. Panelists: Nathan Fredrickson, University of California, Santa Barbara A20-132 Monday - 9:00 AM-11:30 AM Marriott Copley Place-Arlington (Third Level) Religion, Media, and Culture Unit and Teaching Religion Unit and Theology and Religious Reflection Unit Theme: Teaching and Scholarship as Resistance in the Post-Truth Era In recent years, facts and truth have been undercut to such an extent that our society’s sense of shared reality has eroded. This problem has been highlighted by the 2016 U.S. Presidential election and its aftermath. What is our vocation as teachers, faculty members, and intellectuals in the post-truth age? The difficulties we face are myriad: the deluge of “alt-facts,” the corrosion of democratic institutions, the corporatization of the university, and what Jameson called “the totally-mediatized present.” What practices, institutions, and formations are necessary for us as faculty members to survive, counter, or resist this emerging (non-) epistemology? Bringing together junior and senior scholars from many sub-disciplines and methodological approaches within religious studies and theology and from different kinds of academic institutions, this will be an engaged, ad hoc conversation from which everyone gains new ideas about both classroom strategies and the role of the university in our historical moment.

Bringing faith practitioners to speak in our classes might be a useful strategy to expose students to insider views, hear from more authoritative sources, and encounter faith practitioners perhaps for the first time. In spite of the potential benefits of inviting faith practitioners to our classes, there are also potential challenges. How do we ensure that these experiences are appropriately bracketed to maintain academic rigor? Do certain institutional contexts or programs support this more than others? How does our status as graduate students affect these concerns, especially as graduate students take on such a large role of undergraduate instruction? This roundtable session will discuss these issues and discuss ways of effectively bringing guest faith practitioners into the classroom.

Workshop for Theological School Faculty Teaching Online In this workshop, theological school faculty will design, build, implement, assess, and redesign an online or hybrid course to be taught in the 2018-19 academic year. The workshop will be offered as a hybrid experience, blending elements of individual work, three face-to-face sessions, and collaborative work as part of a virtual learning community. During the first summer, participants will engage in an intensive program that includes online content (developed in collaboration with the University of Wisconsin - Madison), bookended by two of the face-to-face gatherings with peers on the Wabash College campus. During the 2018-19 academic year, participants will teach and assess the course they designed. In the final face-to-face session during the summer of 2019, each participant will review their assessment information, share best practices, wrestle with deeper issues of pedagogy and sociology of learning, and complete a plan for revising their course. Goals Participants will be able to: Design, construct, implement, assess, and revise a well-conceived and pedagogically sound course for delivery in an online or hybrid format Assess the unique opportunities and challenges for effective teaching and learning posed by traditional, hybrid, and online teaching environments Apply sound principles of pedagogy and the sociology of learning communities to the design of an online or hybrid course Make informed decisions about how to shape effective pedagogical and sociological strategies for the venue in which they will be used, in order to achieve the desired learning outcomes Design and facilitate learning activities and processes in order to achieve effective, relational, and formational learning outcomes Contribute in positive ways to institutional exploration of online and hybrid learning environments Honorarium Participants will receive an honorarium of $3400 for full participation in the three f2f and online course sessions.
