The College of Humanities is pleased to offer a line-up of faculty-selected workshops on topics often assumed to be common knowledge within the professoriate. Each session will provide faculty with an informative and accessible opportunity to learn a variety of academic skills and principles that are routinely deployed but rarely taught. Session leaders will include College of Humanities representatives who will share their experiences and best practices. The presentations and recordings from many of the workshops can be found below.
