First Faculty Common Literature Experience Program Workshop Held
The first of three events planned for the pilot Faculty Common Literature Experience program will be held Feb. 11 at 3:30 p.m. in the Merril-Cazier Library, Room 101. The workshop will include a panel presentation and discussion of the book What is Your Dangerous Idea? edited by John Brockman.
The presentation, sponsored by the Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity, provides an opportunity to explore ways to discuss controversial topics productively in the classroom. Members of the panel include USU faculty members Christie Fox, director of the honors program, David Hole, professor in the plants, soils, and climate department, Robert Davies, program coordinator for the Utah Climate Center, and Paul Jakus, head of the applied economics department.
It is not necessary to have read the book to benefit from the panel presentation and discussion. A substantial portion of the book is freely available online. Ten copies of the book are also available at the library, available for a two-week loan period.
All are invited to join in this provocative discussion.
