2006 Conference on Pastoral Leadership for Public Engagement Dates: July 31 to August 4, 2006 - Wabash College A conversation focused on the participants’ sensed need for seminaries to deepen their ability to help congregations respond more adequately to local, national and global public tragedies. The small group of committed scholars, teachers and activists gathered to discuss strategies and envision projects to help and encourage theological schools to: prepare publicly engaged church leadership. prepare leaders equipped to facilitate public engagement by congregations. be more effective at producing church leadership for engagement in the public square. form leaders for engagement in the public square (in behalf of justice).

2006 Online Course for Theological School Faculty Teaching Online Course Dates: June 5 to July 29, 2006 Cost: $100 per person The Wabash Center is increasingly aware of the growing number of seminaries that offer at least some of their curriculum online. The circumstances that lead to the use of online seminary courses are many and complex. The pedagogical challenges and opportunities of the online seminary classroom are of particular concern to us. Therefore, as part of our mission to enhance teaching and learning, we have contracted with the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Distance Education Certificate Program – a nationally recognized leader in instructional design for e-learning environments – to offer an 8 week online class for seminary faculty to learn about and experience effective practices for teaching online. This an introductory course that will present the major elements involved in using the internet for instruction. It will be conducted online to provide hands-on experience with online learning. The course is designed to accommodate faculty with a wide range of online teaching experience. No prior experience is necessary; course material will be valuable to faculty at more advanced levels as well. It will use a “principles-to-practice” approach that presents guidelines and strategies for applying principles of online learning to the practices of individual faculties’ online courses. Each week will include resource materials, readings, and online activities to engage participants in active discussion, debate, case studies, mini-projects, and other group or individual work. The course will use threaded discussion forums and an asynchronous format, meaning you can log in at any time to read and post messages – although posting early in the week and then later in the week is required for group cohesion. This is a concentrated, resource-rich, learning experience. You must think through what you’re hoping to learn, to help guide you in selecting resources most relevant to your situation and context. The approximate time commitment is 8-10 hours per week for reading and activities. To participate, you must be able to login and post responses at least twice every week. There is no “certificate” that is awarded for successful completion of the course. You will need a computer with a broadband connection to the Internet, a browser such as Internet Explorer 6.0 or better, and Flash Player Plug-In (or be able to download the free plug-in).

2006 Educating Clergy Conferences In the winter and spring of 2006, the Wabash Center sponsored a series of six conferences. At each conference, 3 representatives from 20 different theological schools gathered to discuss the implications of recent research findings from two important new studies: Signs of the Times: Present and Future Theological Faculty by Barbara G. Wheeler, Sharon L. Miller, and Katarina Schuth Center for the Study of Theological Education at Auburn Theological Seminary Educating Clergy: Teaching Practices and Pastoral Imagination by Charles R. Foster, Lisa Dahill, Larry Golemon, Barbara Wang Tolentino The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching The purpose of the conferences was two-fold: • To review findings and explore implications from the two studies • To develop strategies for strengthening educational programs and faculty teaching practices The conference developed strategies to strengthening educational programs and faculty teaching practices in the education of clergy, rabbis, and other ministry professionals. Leadership for each conference was provided by the directors of the two studies: • Barbara Wheeler and Sharon Miller, Center for the Study of Theological Education, Auburn Theological Seminary • Charles Foster, Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Each participating school was eligible for a follow-up grant of $2000 to share and apply learnings from the Auburn and Carnegie research projects on their own campuses in ways that would enhance the preparation of clergy.

Ethnic and Racial Minority Workshops The Wabash Center has long recognized that minoritized faculty of color face particular challenges and pressures in higher education, and therefore can benefit from networks of conversation and mentoring within their ethnic and racial minority groups. Since 2002, we have offered teaching workshops for Early Career faculty on a rotating basis for three racial-ethnic minority groups. Faculty of African Descent Latino/a Faculty Faculty of Asian and Pacific Islander Descent Conversations within these groups can explore the unique issues that arise for faculty identifying in each of these groups as they negotiate various higher education contexts and develop courses appropriate for their academic purposes and vocation.

Highlights from Past Years at the AAR & SBL Annual Meetings A Conversation about Starting Conversations about Teaching (2016) In celebration of 20 years of supporting teachers of theology and religion, the Wabash Center hosted this conversation panel of faculty who have participated in Wabash workshops and are now leading projects to promote reflection on teaching at their own institutions. We started with a small panel conversation about the challenges and effective strategies for supporting teachers and how one helps them to critically reflect on their teaching practice, and then enlarged the conversation to everyone in the room. Panelists: Thomas Pearson (Wabash Center), Brooke Lester (Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary), Jocelyn McWhirter (Albion College) , Kristi Upson-Saia (Occidental College) Graduate Student Lunch” Teach with Confidence: Insights and Advice (2016) Graduate students joined us for lunch and an interactive presentation about teaching in higher education. Panelistsfrom a variety of institutional types and disciplines will shared reflections on such matters as: How does the institution at which you work shape your teaching?Our panelists commented on such topics as teaching undergraduate vs. graduate students; teaching in a public vs. a denominational setting; teaching online vs. in a classroom; and teaching outside your area of expertise. How do the needs and concerns of your students shape your teaching?Our panelists described how they acknowledge such realities as diversity in the classroom; power dynamics in the classroom; and student issues in and beyond the classroom. How do course mechanics and methods shape your teaching?Our panelists offered adviceon such “nuts and bolts” as constructing a syllabus, crafting assignments, and conducting assessment; integrating student evaluation; and the pros and cons of teaching techniques (lectures, discussions, projects, technology, etc.). How does who you are shape your teaching?Our panelists discussed how their commitments (e.g., religious, personal, and political) and qualities (e.g., personality, gender, race) influence how they teach. Dealing with “imposter syndrome” will receive special notice! Panelists: Tamara Lewis (Perkins School of Theology,Southern Methodist University), Jeremy Posadas (Austin College), Robert Rivera (St. John's University, New York), Mary Stimming (Wabash Center) Pre-Conference Workshop: "Teaching for Civic Engagement in Religious and Theological Studies" (2016) Few topics excite greater interest among academics and their many critics than the public, civic purpose of contemporary higher education. But what counts as civic engagement in the university classroom? How do I design effective civic engagement assignments? And what distinctive resources do the disciplines of religious studies and theology have to offer this task? In this 5-hour workshop, participants hadthe opportunity to share expertise, to learn how and why to adopt these sorts of pedagogies, to discover new strategies and heuristic frameworks, and to reflect on issues of accountability and assessment. We started with buffet lunch at noon and concluded with a reception for participants. Workshop leaders: Reid Locklin (University of Toronto) and Elizabeth Corrie (Candler School of Theology). Pre-Conference Workshop for ATSI, FTE, HTI and NAIITS Doctoral Students on Teaching and Learning (2015) A gathering of doctoral students associated with ATSI, FTE, HTI, and NAIITS in their final year of studies or at the dissertation writing stage to discuss particular issues about teaching and learning such as: What do you want your teaching to do in the world? Community teaching and learning . Vocation and institutional contexts. Evaluation and assessment as ways for celebration and reflection on mutual growth. Collaboration in the first year(s) of teaching. Gifts we leave one another.Leadership Team: Elizabeth Conde-Frazier, (Esperanza College), Terry LeBlanc (NAIITS), Tat-siong Benny Liew (College of the Holy Cross), Stephen Ray (Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary ). Workshop - Teaching for a Culturally Diverse and Racially Just World (2014) This 90-minutemini-workshop explored specific dimensions of the issues inTeaching for a Culturally Diverse and Racially Just World (edited by Eleazar Fernandez) -- as they pertain to teaching practice and leveraging institutional change. Issues explored involved a range of topics, including: • When SubjectsMatter: The Bodies We Teach By • What Shall We Teach? The Content of Theological Education • Thoughts on Curriculum as Formational Praxis for Faculty, Students, and their Communities • Teaching Disruptively: Pedagogical Strategies to Teaching Cultural Diversity and Race Workshop Leaders: Eleazar Fernandez (United Theological Seminary of Twin Cities), Elizabeth Conde Frazier (Esperanza College), Willie James Jennings (Duke Divinity School), Boyung Lee (Pacific School of Religion), and Mai-Anh Le Tran (Eden Theological Seminary) Thinking About Writing About Teaching (2015) Participants in this interactive and hands-on session thought together about how and why various types of writing about teaching become valuable for authors as well as readers who are reflecting on their teaching and student learning. Participants were led through a hands-on, small group interactive process to reflect on their teaching practice and begin to “workshop” an idea for a writing project about teaching. How can writing and reading about teaching support your reflective teaching practice?Leadership: Eugene Gallagher (Connecticut College), Martha Stortz (Augsburg College), and Thomas Pearson (Wabash Center, Editor ofTeaching Theology and Religion) Pre-Conference Workshop: Teaching Visual Arts in Religious Studies and Theology Classrooms (2014) This workshop provided faculty with various strategies and methods for teaching the visual arts in religious studies and theology classrooms. Participants explore da range of ways by which specific pedagogical methods can help students engage the visual arts as loci for the study of religious studies, theology, ethics, bible, etc.Specific attention was given to the following pedagogical methods: a dialogical method that sees artist, art, and the viewer (theologian, ethicists, whomever) in conversation, drawing on material from other disciplines; a method that considersthe role of material evidence, which means beginning with methodologicalquestionsin order to engage students (and colleagues no less) in the definition of evidence in historical and cultural analysis; and a method thatattends to the ethics of observation as part of the hermeneutics of visual cultures, including the viewer's gaze. Workshop participants explored both meta-level questions about engaging the visual arts and specific strategies for teaching visual arts in contemporary higher educational contexts through a range of questions. The pre-meeting workshop included mini-lectures, plenary conversations, and small group work. In addition, participants were exposed to materials for study and teaching including:methods of visual analysis, ethics of inquiry, exhibition practices, subject areas (Christianity, Buddhism, Islam, etc.), theories of visual culture, and so on. Sample Questions that were Explored: • How do religions happen visually and how do we study them? • How do faculty help students identify various intersections between religion and visuality/visual culture, and then see how they might be studied? • How do teachers effectively attend to the ethics of observation and teach students concerning the ethics of observation? • How do teachers effectively teach theology, bible, religious studies, etc. through the visual arts? • By what means do teachers help students effectively engage visual arts as places to begin the study of various disciplinary topics rather than as illustrations for particular points in those disciplines? • How do contextual readings of visual art aid teaching and learning in theology and religion? • What do faculty need to know about visual art historical methods, visual textual methods, cultural studies methods, etc. in order to teach visual arts in religious studies and theology classrooms? • What specific teaching methods help students with little experience in engaging visual arts and who may feel intimidated by invitations to respond to discussing visual art as religious or theological texts? • How do teachers help students engage the multi-variegated textures associated with both the study of the visual arts and religious studies, and theology? Co-sponsored with The Society for the Arts in Religious and Theological Studies Workshop Leaders: David Morgan (Duke University), Vivian-Lee Nyitray (Prospect College, China), Wilson Yates (United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities), Paul Myhre (Wabash Center; President, SARTS) Pre-Conference Workshop: Teaching with Social Media (2013) The Wabash Center offered a four hour pre-meeting workshop on Friday, November 22, from 1:00 - 5:00 pm on the topic of Teaching with Social Media.
