 Praxis/Pedagogy/Professional Session:

●      Boosting Enrollments in German Programs: Feminist Strategies and Practices

Org: Erika Berroth, Magda Tarnawska Senel

Share your stories of feminist strategies and practices of success - and failure. How do we attract students with content, pedagogy, course formats, collaborations, interdisciplinary work, community engagement, social justice, study abroad, faculty-student research, practicum opportunities, internships, integrating MINT/STEM, community engaged learning, teaching with technology, mentoring for scholarships and fellowships, and other practices? What helps with increasing visibility of German Programs on and off campus? How can we leverage our membership in consortia etc. to advance resource sharing?

Depending on the number of submissions we receive and the topics they address, we would like to consider a roundtable or workshop format for this panel. Please send abstracts of 200-300 words, including your thoughts on the panel format, to both organizers by March 1, 2016. Please also email both organizers with any questions. Panelists should become members of Women in German or renew their membership for 2017 prior to the conference. We look forward to receiving your proposals: Erika Berroth and Magda Tarnawska Senel:
