COLLOQUIUM

Research into Teaching & Practice

The Writing and Communication Program offers a regular brownbag colloquium in which Brittain Fellows and other School of Literature, Communication and Culture (LCC) faculty share ways in which their research influences their teaching. During each colloquium, members from LCC`s community of over 60 scholars and colleagues from other Georgia Tech schools critically explore teaching about communication, culture, science, and technology. This colloquium series supports the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SOTL).

Each colloquium session lasts for one hour, with two speakers presenting for 15-20 minutes, followed by a short response from a senior faculty member, and time for questions from the audience.
