Faculty Development and Diversity
Professor Neil Browne, Distinguished Teaching Professor of Economics at Bowling Green State University, is a nationally-recognized educational expert and consultant whose work focuses extensively on critical thinking. He has authored several books on this topic, including
Asking the Right Questions: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Prentice Hall 2009, 9th ed.). Suggested readings for this demonstration/conversation will be placed on the Faculty Development and Diversity website at http://www.usu.edu/faculty_development/lectures/.
One of USU’s undergraduate objectives is to help students develop as citizen-scholars. This luncheon/workshop focuses on encouraging citizen-scholarship through the use of national newspapers in lecture and classroom activities. The luncheon and workshop is hosted by The New York Times.

Dr. Daniel Pratt, Scholarly Teaching: What is it and what makes it ‘scholarly’?

Three fundamental questions will be addressed by Dan Pratt in his presentation on Scholarly Teaching
1. What is the difference between ‘teaching’ and ‘scholarly teaching’;
2. How does one move from teaching to ‘scholarly teaching’; and
3. How might the pursuit of teaching as a scholarly activity respect differences in personal, disciplinary, and cultural views of knowledge and learning?
Dan Pratt is Professor of Adult and Higher Education in the Department of Educational Studies at the University of British Columbia. His book, Five Perspectives on Teaching in Adult and Higher Education, won the Cyril O. Houle Award for most outstanding literature in adult education and higher education. This year he also received Canada’s most prestigious university teaching award – the 3M National Teaching Fellowship.
