The Scholarship of Teaching and Learning (SoTL) is a reflective, evidence‑based approach that allows educators to systematically investigate how students learn within their disciplines. Through research‑informed practices, SoTL helps instructors enhance educational outcomes and adopt more inquisitive, intentional teaching methods.

SoTL also fosters a scholarly community locally, nationally, and internationally where educators share insights, challenges, and innovations in teaching and learning. At its core, SoTL is united by a commitment to improving student learning through rigorous inquiry and the dissemination of findings.

Our book club meets online every other week. Members may have already read the book or may be encountering it for the first time. Participants are expected to build a richer understanding of the text than they may gain from reading alone through discussion, reflection, and shared insights,

Our book club is designed as a space to learn together. This is not a workshop or a lecture. The book club offers an informal and supportive environment where students, staff, and faculty can explore a shared topic from multiple perspectives.

By reading and discussing a book collectively, participants can bring their own disciplinary backgrounds, experiences, and insights. This creates a richer, more nuanced understanding of teaching and learning than any one person could develop alone.

The book club is an opportunity to slow down, reflect, ask questions, and learn from one another in a way that is collaborative rather than instructional. It is a community space where curiosity, dialogue, and interdisciplinary thinking guide the conversation.

We aim to select titles that are available through our university library which can be digital or in print. The goal is that all members have accessible options for obtaining the book.

You are welcome to listen quietly or actively participate in discussion. There is no expectation to speak if you do not feel comfortable. This space is designed for collective learning and reflection.
