Description

Our Digital Salon will use the lens of Latinx culture to address the challenges and possibilities of teaching theology and religious studies in the context of COVID-19.  We encourage both early- and mid-career Latinx faculty to apply, as well as faculty of any racial or ethnic background who teach in a Hispanic Serving Institution. We will approach our cohort as a community of inquiry and practice, wherein we will collectively problem solve, innovate, and create best practices for our teaching and self-care.

Participants will be expected to commit 3 hours a month to our cohort, which will consist of roughly the following: ~1 hr of asynchronous prep work ahead of our monthly Zoom chat, ~1.5 hr synchronous Zoom chat, ~.5 hr post-Zoom reflection
