As we reach the mid-point of fall term, the Faculty Hub extends our thanks to all faculty and staff for maintaining our academic mission, despite the challenges. We have had many opportunities to work with faculty, especially since March 2020,\u00a0and we are always seeking\u00a0additional\u00a0ways to help the faculty.<\/p>\n
Please take a few minutes to review upcoming events.<\/p>\n
Inclusive Teaching: Student Belonging<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n To what extent do students feel accepted, supported, and respected by instructors and peers?\u00a0A sense of belonging is a basic human need and it impacts student well-being and academic performance. Want to learn more about how you can make a difference in promoting student belonging at UR?<\/p>\n Join us for\u00a0Inclusive Teaching: Student Belonging<\/em>, an interactive session designed to practice critical reflection and analysis around stories of students’ experiences in the classroom.\u00a0We invite you to help us build a shared understanding of the ways in which students’ experiences can be supported by consistent actions from instructors.\u00a0We are hosting a virtual presentation by\u00a0UVA Acts<\/a>\u00a0on\u00a0Friday, October 30 from 12\u00a0\u2013\u00a01:30 p.m.<\/strong>\u00a0Register here!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n (This is limited to 30 participants on Zoom; we will consider a second opportunity if there is interest.)<\/p>\n Morning Blend<\/strong><\/p>\n Please consider our new program, the\u00a0Morning Blend,\u00a0<\/em>a weekly online get-together to communicate helpful tips for faculty (a\u00a010-15 minute\u00a0presentation), a takeaway document (tip sheet) for later reference, and discussion time.

What data can we trust?\u00a0Do scholarly works contain valid information? How is data communicated?\u00a0How do we identify and evaluate information, data, and news? What are some ways we can effectively incorporate data and information literacy into our courses and effectively communicate about data in our scholarship?<\/p>\n We invite you to join us to learn from\u00a0Calling\u00a0Bullsh*t: The Art of\u00a0Skepticism in a Data-Driven World<\/em><\/a>\u00a0by Carl Bergstrom and\u00a0Jevin\u00a0West. The book\u2019s focus on data and information literacy aligns with the work of Faculty Hub Associates, Dr. Kristine Nolin (Chemistry) and Dr. Kristine Grayson (Biology), who will lead the discussions.<\/p>\n Faculty from all schools and disciplines are invited to join us. One organizational meeting will be scheduled for late November or early December and three discussion meetings between January 11 and February 26.
