Teacher/Scholar Works In Progress Talks

Oberlin faculty share their current projects—scholarly, artistic, or activist. The project can be at any stage. This is an occasion to: workshop new ideas; teach colleagues about your work; practice a talk; reflect on how your research/performance/activism and your teaching cross-pollinate; test out a new course idea.

Fridays:

  • 4:30-5:30 Talk and Q&A
  • 5:30-6:30 Wine and Cheese
