CTLgrads Journal Club
Are you interested learning about educational research? Join us in the CTLgrads Journal Club! This informal discussion community is an opportunity to be introduced to research on teaching and learning in various disciplines (also known as Discipline-Based Education Research, or DBER), and to discuss articles with CTL staff and other graduate students and postdocs. Each session will also help you consider how you can use findings in education research–in your field and beyond–to inform your own teaching practices.
How to participate
The CTLgrads Journal Club is open to current Columbia graduate students and postdocs. While we encourage participants to attend multiple Journal Club in order to build community with others interested in findings and implications of education research, we welcome visitors to individual sessions.
Readings are announced one week before sessions. Sign up for the CTLgrads Journal Club mailing list to get advance notification about upcoming sessions and readings.
