Profs at the Pub: Joy and Rigor with Jackie Shay

A UCSB professor on joy-centered teaching

UCSB ecologist and teaching professor Jackie Shay talks about impostor syndrome in science and why she thinks joy and academic rigor go together. She draws on the book Joy-Centered Pedagogy in Higher Education and on a four-university study in which efforts to improve teaching ended up changing the faculty most.

Expect a quick live poll and a chance to trade stories with your neighbors. No science background is needed. Registration is on the UCSB calendar page.
