  1. CW: Academic teaching gripes

    Anyway, thanks for letting me rant. We'll get through this. I will be fine. My students will be fine.

    It will all pass, and life will go on.

    And if, in all of this, I find a way to effectively counter the deeply bone-headed and alienating way admin goes about these things, I'll let you know.

  4. A colleague sent me this picture from the #climate session at the #American #Astrophysical #Society #AAS #AAS221 in #Seattle.

  5. 1/2: Global Faculty Development might sound like a slogan or exaggeration of international outreach, but I learned from having such a position at Kansai University in Osaka from 2016-2020 that Global FD can have a specific and practical definition in a suitable context. Basically, Global FD means meeting the needs of non-native English-using faculty members in non-Western countries. Specific guidance could involve preparing teachers for English-medium (or other international language) instruction (particularly to classes with international students), giving presentations at international conferences, publishing journal papers, and other scholarly
    tasks. Research findings: "Meeting Global Faculty Development Needs in Japan" at researchgate.net/publication/3 or academia.edu/38264974
