Teaching in Relationship to Your Research

A shared challenge among scholars and educators is to fully commit to and execute multiple responsibilities, such as teaching and conducting research. However, research and teaching responsibilities do not have to be mutually exclusive tasks. This workshop focuses on the variety of ways future educators can integrate their research and teaching. In this session, we will discuss how scholars may translate their research for novice learners, incorporate their research efforts as a topic of study, or use them as tangible examples for deep learning. In addition, we will explore the ways that future educators can use their classroom and pedagogy as a topic of research and/or use their classroom to enrich their ongoing research projects. The ultimate goal of the workshop is for PhD students to have an understanding of various ways that research and teaching can complement and inform one another.
