• Workshop, Sunday 6/25/23 1P-3P - Inclusive Teaching in Phycology with particular emphasis on field and laboratory experiences – $10.00
  The goal of the Inclusive Teaching in Phycology Workshop is to raise collective awareness for the ways that Phycology Instructors could reach a broader audience by identifying, addressing and discussing strategies that discourage participation by some students, particularly in the field and laboratory settings, and by brainstorming innovations to address those shortcomings. A selection of examples will be presented by people experienced in teaching phycology courses, with time for participants to discuss and get feedback on their own teaching experiences.
