Integrate Advocacy, Argument, and Debate into Your Class- Call for Faculty Participants
Interested in improving student listening, advocacy, research, and other civic learning skills? Looking for an opportunity to connect with other faculty around teaching and scholarship? Consider being a member of the 2021-2022 Colonial Academic Alliance Debate for Civic Learning faculty cohort.
Join a select group of faculty from across the CAA as we intentionally and collaboratively redesign classes to integrate and assess the use of debates, role-playing, and other active simulations to improve student civic learning. Selected faculty participants receive stipends to redesign a class during the fall 2021 semester and implement in their spring 2022 course.
Faculty during the first cohort were selected from across Communication Studies, Engineering, English, Political Science, Dance, Global Studies, and Education and Public Policy. Students reported enjoying the challenge of in-class debate activities, collaborating with peers and faculty on discussing important controversies and topics, and improving their confidence and abilities across different skill sets.
To learn more or express your interest in becoming a faculty participant, please contact Dr. Blake Abbott (cabbott@towson.edu).
