Call for Abstracts: Annual Research on Teaching and Learning Conference

The Paul R. MacPherson Institute for Leadership, Innovation & Excellence in Teaching is excited to announce the annual Research on Teaching and Learning Conference, which will be held at McMaster University (Hamilton, ON) on December 12 & 13^th, 2018.

The 2018 conference theme will focus on Stages and Places of Engagement in Teaching and Learning within and across four ‘levels’- micro (individuals and courses), meso (programs and departments), macro (institutional), and mega (extra-institutional). Using these levels as a way to think about stages and places for SoTL research enables discussion about the collective impact of research across multiple contexts. The conference will provide an opportunity for attendees to share and celebrate the change and engagement that can occur in teaching and learning when we participate in SoTL and educational research.

We invite abstracts that explore research on teaching and learning that address one or more of the four levels. Proposals that present the impact/relevance of SoTL research across multiple levels are particularly welcome.

The program for the conference will consist of short paper/research presentations, workshops, panel discussions, poster presentations and keynote presentations.

The deadline for submissions is 5:00 pm on Tuesday, October 16, 2018. For additional conference details including abstract submission and registration, please visit: https://mi.mcmaster.ca/rtl2018/

We also invite you to volunteer to review 3-4 brief abstracts (250 words) for this conference. As a reviewer, you are also able to submit a proposal for a conference session or workshop. Abstracts will be available on or before Tuesday, October 16, 2018 and you will be required to complete your reviews by Tuesday, October 30, 2018 at 5:00 pm. If you are willing to serve as a reviewer, please let us know by Tuesday, September 25, 2018 at 5:00 pm and include your name and institutional affiliation in your correspondence.
