Friday, March 23
9:30-11:00am
MUB 330/332

The University of Michigan Center for Research on Learning and Teaching (CRLT) Theatre Program, will perform The Faculty Meeting. Players present provocative performances built on a strong foundation of research concerning the experience of faculty and students.  The performance/workshop involves a short dramatic sketch followed by a facilitated discussion between the audience and the characters from the sketch.  Unlike a video vignette or traditional theatre “skit,” the interactive format draws the audience into genuine dialogue with the characters and each other.  This exchange of ideas is invaluable for prompting reflection – rather than defensiveness – on issues of climate change in classrooms and departments.  This workshop is open to all faculty.

Wednesday, March 28
4:00-600 pm
Elliot Alumni Center, 1925 Room

Academic Publishing Workshop
A panel of senior editors from University Press of New England and University of New Hampshire Press will provide an overview of the academic publishing process.  Topics will range from writing a book proposal, selecting the right press for consideration, interpreting the initial editorial response, preparing the full manuscript for submission, responding to outside readers’ reports, and completing the project for final copy-editing and production. Panelists will also talk about the state of academic publishing today and what to expect in terms of sales and marketing for your project.  There will be time allowed for questions and discussion.
