The new Wabash Center web page is finally launched, after years of dreaming, studying, and
planning.
The new web page provides a structure through which we can envision and create a virtual Wabash Center community on the internet. Come back often, as we add resources and develop areas that are currently still in gestation. A web site is never “finished.” – by the nature of the medium. And certainly this one is just getting started.
Our goal is to create a virtual community of religion faculty critically reflecting on their teaching practice. This web site will be a place where workshop participants can stay connected to colleagues and issues encountered at Wabash. And it will be a place where we can bring new faculty into this ongoing conversation about teaching theology and religious studies in the academy.
Check out some of the new features on our website:
The New Internet Guide
The Wabash Center’s renowned “Guide to Internet Resources for Teaching
and Learning in Theology and Religion” has a completely new interface.
•
Enhanced taxonomy of topics – more intuitive, comprehensive, and consistent
with library protocols.
•Database driven - allowing robust searches within and across the taxonomy
of topics.
• Material Types - allows finer distinctions between different types of
web pages.
• Personal Subject Headings - lists significant philosophers and theologians,
both alphabetically and chronologically.
Teaching and Learning Resources
Search for keywords, or browse the taxonomy of topics that canvass the best
in the scholarship of teaching and learning. Review and search within annotated
citations for published works’ or find resources immediately
available on the web with a click of your mouse.
Find People
Interested in organizing your own gathering of faculty for mutual support and
critical reflection on teaching practice? Want to find colleagues who share
your Wabash-enthusiasm? You can search here for past participants in Wabash
programs
(workshops, colloquies, conferences, grants, and journal authors). Sort them
by region, academic discipline, or specific school.
Search Awarded Grants
Before applying for a Wabash Center grant, browse or search through our database
of previously awarded grants. The proposal and learning abstracts will help you identify projects that are similar to what you’re proposing. Contact the named project director so
that your grant project will benefit
from
and build on what’s already been done.
My Wabash
A login page for participants in our workshops and colloquies. Find instructions
and information on the gathering. Communicate with other participants. Post
and review others’ documents. View the photo gallery. And more. (Available
only to participants who have applied and been selected into one of our programs.) This section is still under construction; most of its functionality is not yet available.
Online Applications
Now you can apply online for a grant, consultation, workshop or colloquy. Attach
documents to your application (cv, project proposal, etc.). The “My Wabash ” feature allows you to hold your application to complete and submit
later.

web page
architecture.
