Taking the Lead: Developing Agency as a Graduate Student Instructor

How might graduate students creatively prepare for leading and designing their own courses? This panel features three doctoral students discussing ways they have leveraged campus resources and interdisciplinary communities in order to make the most of teaching appointments at Columbia. Panelists will discuss preparations they undertook to develop confidence as lead instructors, and share insights arising from inspiring teaching experiences in departmental courses, the GSAS Teaching Scholars program, and the Core Curriculum.
