Sometimes the creation of an inclusive classroom is less about how we intentionally design our classes and more about how we respond to specific challenges that arise when we teach. In this workshop, faculty will have the opportunity to learn more about changing student demographics at Lehigh and discuss with colleagues several case studies. The cases, based on actual student and faculty experiences, will describe classroom scenarios that, if not handled well, may exclude certain groups of students, diminish those students' sense of belonging to the class, and diminish their likelihood of success. It is our hope that a guided discussion of these cases will help faculty be prepared to speak and act in ways that promote inclusion and enhance academic success for all students.

CITL: Mapping the Evangelization of the Southwest, 1755-1815
Date & Time: Wednesday, November 15, 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm
Location: CITL Commons (EWFM 370)
Presenters: Presenter: Monica Najar, Associate Professor Department of History
Audience: Faculty, Staff, Students
Please join us for a presentation by the 2016/17 Digital Scholarship Faculty Fellow, Monica Najar, on her project “Mapping the Evangelization of the Southwest, 1755-1815.” Using GIS, Professor Najar’s project maps evangelical Baptist churches in the Upper South. Using the founding of Baptist churches (the fastest growing evangelical sect) as a marker, this project uses mapping tools to compare and understand the geographic growth of evangelical churches in relationship to the expansion of civil authority.
Following Professor Najar’s presentation, we will announce the call for proposals for the 2017/2018 Digital Scholarship Faculty Fellowship and give tour of the Center’s new Visualization Lab.
