Nielsen to lead CATL book talk

Between 2 and 4 p.m. this Friday (May 7) in the Union’s 1965 Room, Prof. Kim Nielsen will lead a book discussion scheduled by CATL, the Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning. Drop in any time to discuss Teaching Critical Thinking: Practical Wisdom by bell hooks (2010). Nielsen, of Social Change and Development, said she read a small portion of it to her students, and the result was “an amazing discussion of the ethics of teaching and what that means for professors as well as students… (the author) does not provide specific pedagogical  steps, but always makes me think deeply about the theoretical foundation, ethics, and practice of teaching. She reminds me of why I love teaching.”
