Session 3: Using Un-Essays to Increase Student Engagement and Inclusion
Time / Location: 10:00 - 11:20 / Penfield 123
Presenter: Jessamyn Neuhaus
Recording
Advocates of “un-essays” (student-generated research projects that can take almost any form, except a traditional written essay) argue that it enables students to demonstrate knowledge in unique, individualized ways, encouraging more active engagement with content. The un-essay also expands academic inclusion by offering students an unlimited number of ways to successfully complete scholarly research. This workshop gives an overview of un-essay assignments contextualized in the scholarship on teaching and learning on student engagement. I include visual examples of completed undergraduate un-essays and will facilitate brainstorming sessions for how you can incorporate an un-essay assignment into your course planning.

This session will discuss an experiment tested in the School of Business this past Spring in which we introduced a fiction novel - "Black Buck" by Mateo Askaripour, as a means to facilitate discourse on race in the workplace, examine principles of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and build empathy.  Students read the novel in three courses, had the opportunity to meet and hear directly from the author and were given a pre-post attitude survey.  The survey was also given to students in courses that did not use the novel, but had similar learning objectives.  We present our experience, student reflections and the survey results.  This was a pilot use of the novel that will ultimately  be incorporated into the new course under design following a curriculum innovation grant.

Multi-factor authentication (MFA) provides a second layer of security when logging into campus services. If you haven't configured MFA, you might not have accessed a service that is using it.
