Upcoming Journal Clubs - Fall 2024
In Spring 2023, CTEI started a journal club focused on teaching and learning topics in higher education. It is inspired and informed by faculty in the JHU Biology department who ran it enthusiastically in pre-pandemic times. The CTEI ed journal club encompasses all disciplines, so everyone from all fields are free to join us @ CTEI's Conference Room in the Greenhouse, located in front of Decker Gardens!. We highly encourage participants to also select articles and lead the discussion!
Aside from hosting an informal chat of amazing ideas, we also serve tea and light refreshments.
Come for the community & conversation!
