Framing This Moment: Teaching & Learning in Universities Under Attack

Event sponsored by Universities of Wisconsin, Office of Professional and Instructional Development (OPID)

Robin DeRosa, Ph. D 
Director, Libraries & Learning, Plymouth State University, New Hampshire

 

Over the last several years, many employees in higher education have been experiencing a sense of frustration as we go about our work as educators. We love what we were called to do, but we don’t always love what we actually spend our time doing. Workloads seem to be intensifying while mission-central work – the work of teaching and learning – seems to be squeezed, starved, and devalued.

In this presentation, Robin DeRosa frames this moment in higher ed. She offers a sobering assessment of our national educational landscape, including Wisconsin, and how larger political and global forces are reshaping our classroom and day-to-day work. She will extend a call to action and posit some practical steps for faculty, instructors, and staff who want to know what we can do in our daily work to secure a hopeful future for our higher ed institutions, our students, and the public good.

 

Dr. Robin DeRosa is the director of Learning & Libraries at Plymouth State University, a regional public university in New Hampshire. Previously to this position, she held several other positions at Plymouth State, including Professor of English, Professor and Director of Interdisciplinary Studies, and Founder and Director of the Open Learning & Teaching Collaborative. Robin is a national advocate for public higher education, and researches and writes about current challenges and opportunities related to pedagogy, college access, and the future of libraries. Last year, she was recognized by the New Hampshire Board of Higher Education with its annual Excellence Award for her contributions to higher education in the state.
