Context Matters: Adapting Your Teaching to Class Size, Language, and Institution
As a graduate student, you constantly think not only about your ongoing and ever-evolving research, but also about how you interact with your diverse student body. Students are diverse, institutions vary immensely, and your own background becomes more multifaceted with each stage of your academic journey. Naturally, this raises many burning — or perhaps quietly smoldering — questions about teaching across contexts.
Come and find some answers! While we can’t promise all the answers, we can guarantee that some valuable insights await.
Prof. Javier Samper Vendrell brings extensive teaching experience from both U.S. and European academic contexts. He has taught at a small liberal arts college and an R1 research university, facilitates meaningful learning in both small discussion-based seminars and large lecture courses, and interacts daily in multiple languages. He teaches in English and German and publishes his research in both languages.
