The first Faculty Community of Practice Discussion of the 2019-2020 academic year will address the issue of bullying in academia. A faculty community of practice discussion is a facilitated peer dialogue that allows members of the professoriate to share practical knowledge about an area of common interest or concern that can be applied to work on campus to enhance teaching, learning and the employee experience.
The following pre-reads will inform our discussion:
