During this time of online and hybrid instruction, the John Hay Library continues to offer invaluable experiences for students to engage with primary sources, including interactive class sessions, mentoring for individual research and creative projects, and fellowships and proctorships. Join Amanda Strauss (Associate University Librarian for Special Collections), Heather Cole (Head of Instruction and Curator for Literary and Popular Culture Collections), and Holly Shaffer (History of Art and Architecture) to hear about new initiatives and opportunities at the Library. This roundtable will highlight a new study about how instructors can use the Library as a laboratory in which students can build skills central to the Brown experience, and Professor Shaffer will offer considerations for other instructors, gained from experience in her “Food and Art in the Early Modern World” course.

Most instructors have, at some point, had a student stop attending class, request extensions for health or mental health reasons, or recede from engagement in a course following a campus or national incident. Given current events in the world and our hybrid learning environment, it can be more challenging than ever to navigate these health and personal issues as they arise. This roundtable will help instructors navigate these difficult moments with students and become familiar with the resources Brown provides to support both you and them. This session will be most relevant for instructors of record. Roundtable facilitators include Carol Cohen (The College), Anja Lee (The College), and Timothy Shiner (Campus Life).
