CELT  is pleased to invite you to a discussion of Public Sphere Pedagogies, which will include commentary about some our own nationally recognized programs for first year students. The workshop will be held March 13, at 2 pm, in MLIB 031. Please register early, as participation will be limited to 25 registrants. Registration can be found online here: http://depot.csuprojects.org/registration?campusid=7

Co-Presenters Ellie Ertle and Zach Justus explain:

Public Sphere Pedagogy (PSP) embeds a “public sphere” in first-year courses, moving students from a typical classroom setting to a dialogue-rich environment. It focuses students’ course reading, class discussion and research efforts on contemporary public issues and places students in dialogue with community members. PSP can be very challenging, but also very rewarding. This workshop is designed to help faculty see the potential for PSP in their courses and develop community partnerships.
