Conferences
2009 CASTL Summer Institute
You are invited to join our reflective conversations on "Ethics of Inquiry" as part of the larger 2009 CASTL Summer Institute. Ethics refers to principles or standards of human conduct; specifically, happiness or pleasure; duty, virtue, or obligation; and perfection, the fullest harmonious development of human potential. These three standards of conduct apply and may accurately describe our attitudes toward teaching and/or our students' dispositions to learning.
The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) serves as a useful lens by which to examine our attitudes, motivations, and dispositions as they relate to teaching and student learning. SoTL aptly frames an ethic of inquiry or even an inquiry into ethics by encouraging significant questions into: the ethics of teaching and scholarship; ethics and aspiration in the scholarship of teaching and learning and its pedagogical imperatives; an ethic of inquiry into the methodological implications of SoTL research; and/or an inquiry into the ethics of environmental sustainability, moral agency, or social justice within and across disciplines.
The Institute encourages inter- and multi-disciplinary conversations and invites a variety of disciplinary and methodological studies. Consider sharing your work as a scholar or joining the conversation as an active participant at the June Institute!
