Interest Survey: Teaching Paleontology in the 21st Century

Summer 2009

During summer 2009, On the Cutting Edge will offer a working on teaching paleontology at the undergraduate level. The workshop will be patterned after the very successful "Teaching X" workshops offered by On the Cutting Edge over the past 6 years (see, for example, Teaching Geophysics in the 21st Century)

For further information, contact one of the conveners: Barbara Tewksbury (Hamilton College), Rowan Lockwood (College of William and Mary), or Margaret Yacobucci (Bowling Green State University)

We are considering two possible times and venues for the workshop.

• Option 1: The workshop would be held in conjunction with the North American Paleontology Convention in Cincinnati (which will be held June 21-26, 2009). Our workshop would take place for 5 days before the start of the NAPC (i.e., starting June 16 or 17).
• Option 2: The workshop would be hosted by the Paleontological Research Institute in Ithaca, NY and would take place over 5 days in late July or early August.
