Tuning and the International Conversation on Teaching and Learning

Saturday, January 3, 2015: 11:10 AM
Conference Room E (Sheraton New York)
David Pace, Indiana University Bloomington

Two of the panelists, Ann Katherine Isaacs (Tuning EU) and Fernando Purcell (Tuning América Latina), will discuss how History Tuning projects in their regions of the world serve as points of comparison and contrast with the work their U.S. colleagues have pursued. Kathy and Fernando will focus their discussions around six key topics:

   (1) how they launched and coordinated discussions with historians;

   (2) obstacles and conflicts participants encountered;

   (3) the points of agreement and disagreement that arose in their conversations;

   (4) the goals that their colleagues shared as historians;

   (5) the ways in which their projects have offered space for diversity; and

   (6) the agendas that they have set for the future.

The third panelist, David Pace, will examine Tuning in light of his work with the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in History. He will consider how the assumptions, structure, and products of the Tuning process relate to current scholarship, cross-disciplinary conversations, and collaborative projects among colleagues specializing in the field of teaching and learning.
