2024 Conference Pedagogy Potluck
Gender and Intersectionality in Ancient Culture & Modern Media
The AIMS Professional Development Committee will be hosting a Pedagogy Potluck during the 2024 Annual Conference (to be held November 8-14, 2024). The idea for the Pedagogy Potluck is to create a forum where instructors at any level of teaching gather to share an assignment, assessment, or particularly effective lecture/presentation component that blends study of antiquity and modern media. Presenters share the work and comment on how it was successful in fostering student engagement (1-2 slides, approximately 5 minutes), followed by discussion and questions from all participants. For this special conference Pedagogy Potluck, we are especially interested in hearing about material that asks students to engage with representations of gender, broadly conceived (including but not limited to gender, sex, gender identity, sexuality, queer and trans perspectives). Approaches that combine gender and our conference theme of technology and technē are especially welcome. If you have taught a course that involves material that foregrounds, interrogates, or responds in any significant way to ancient ideas about gender in modern media, or material that explores the intersection between gender and another aspect of identity, please consider sharing a successful example of your work with other AIMS folks at the potluck. The specific date and time of the conference Pedagogy Potluck is TBD, but it will take place during the annual conference: November 8-14, 2024. We will take participants’ schedules into consideration.
To submit a proposal, please fill out the conference proposal form. We are asking for proposals of around 200 words, but no more than 500 words describing what you will present on, and if you have any special needs. You may present at the Pedagogy Potluck even if you are presenting in another session at the conference. Please submit your proposal by August 1, 2024.
