It’s no secret that teaching has been more challenging than usual the last few years. Pandemic-related burnout, combined with reports of lower levels of student engagement, have affected our work in the classroom in significant ways. In this workshop, we will ask participants to think about the obstacles to joy and purpose they are encountering in their teaching, as well as the obstacles they believe their students are facing in these categories. Then, collectively, we will address some ways to address these challenges.

Lunch will be provided for registered participants.

This event is open to all University of Mississippi-affiliated faculty/staff and graduate students.
