This workshop is for undergraduate students who teach in any
capacity at Brown (e.g. UTAs, tutors, mentors, etc.) and who want to learn
more about how to create effective lesson plans for their role. Come
prepared to create a lesson plan for an upcoming recitation, problem

This series focuses on skills needed for clear writing in the U.S. academic context. This semester’s workshops will focus on incorporating sources, summarizing, and synthesizing in English.
This fall, the Writing Center is implementing a new Dissertation Workshop Series for graduate students. Led by Emily Drennan, Doctoral Candidate in Egyptology and Graduate Proctor for the Writing Center, this month’s workshop will discuss project proposal techniques of current graduate students at Brown and introduce reverse timelines, a way to plan backwards in order to make deadlines and stay on track. Participants will come away with broad exposure to proposal writing strategies used by their colleagues across campus and with a rough draft of a project timeline, personalized to their studies and department. Registration is required, please register here.
Please join us for lunch with Dean of the College Rashid Zia. This series brings early career faculty together with campus leaders for discussion and community building.

In this talk, Dr. Brownell will present research on the experiences of women in undergraduate science courses. Dr. Brownell’s research shows gender gaps in exam performance, participation in class discussions, students’ confidence in their perception of their own intelligence, students’ perception of other students’ intelligence, and student perception of instructor humor in the classroom. Collectively, this work highlights that there are gender inequities present in college science classrooms that may not be apparent to instructors and that instructors may need to reconsider structuring undergraduate courses to mitigate these gender gaps.

CURE courses can expand access to research experiences to a greater number of students. They also mitigate barriers to student participation associated with the traditional research mentorship model. With a focus on equity in science education, Dr. Sara Brownell (Arizona State University) will discuss the impacts of course-based undergraduate research experiences and address how you can assess the outcomes of your own CURE course.
