黑料老司机

SCENT, the FDO, and the 黑料老司机FA are pleased to host Dr. Len Findlay from the University of Saskatchewan on Wednesday, April 27, at 黑料老司机, as the culmination of SCENT and the FDO鈥檚 semester-long focus on academic freedom, pedagogy, and curriculum. Dr. Findlay will give a public lecture entitled 鈥淧edagogical Authority of Consumer Sovereignty? Academic Freedom and the Academic Mission鈥� at 11:00am in MCDH 243. Free, everyone welcome. 

The morning talk will be followed by a more intensive afternoon workshop, from 1:00-3:00, in MCDH 329. Dr. Findlay will lead participants through a discussion of many issues surrounding academic freedom, pedagogy, and curriculum, organized around three broad themes: 1) content; 2) delivery, and 3) ethics (see for more information on some of what these themes entail). 

Please preregister for lunch (provided, at 12:30) and the workshop by the end of the day, Wednesday, April 20, so we can order enough food for participants: contact Gerald at fdo@upei.ca. 

Finally, don鈥檛 forget to check out the blog at projects.upei.ca/scent, where many of the issues about this theme have been explored throughout the semester. There鈥檚 an 鈥榦pen blog鈥� post for observations and comments about the blog, the articles, and the issues raised there too.
