\n Our Teaching Approaches\n <\/h1>\n \n \n <\/header>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

Our department cultivates critical, experiential and innovative approaches to teaching and learning – from our undergraduate first-year classes and seminars through to our graduate classes on course design, teaching and academic writing. We provide students with experiential learning opportunities in: digital and traditional ethnographic fieldwork, working with social justice community groups and organizations, and critical making and media production skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We have a vibrant departmental culture of pedagogical development and experimentation that\u2019s reflected in the many unconventional courses we have developed over the years. Our department has a wide range of courses, programs and initiatives that illustrate some of the most important aspects of how we think about, approach, reflect upon, and practice our teaching.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
