CILA Virtual Conversation – Common Read
Watch Deanna Thompson, Director of the Lutheran Center for Faith, Values, and Community and Martin E. Marty Regents Chair in Religion and the Academy, lead a CILA Virtual Conversation on integrating the first-year Common Read book into the fall curriculum and co-curriculum. The Common Read for the academic year 2020-21 is Acts of Faith: The Story of an American Muslim, the Struggle for the Soul of a Generation by Eboo Patel.
A campus locus for conversations about learning and teaching in the liberal arts.
Recent decades have brought dramatic changes in the ways we structure knowledge, in what we have come to understand about effective teaching and learning, and in the possibilities afforded by new technologies for improving teaching and learning. The Center for Innovation in the Liberal Arts (CILA) was founded in 2000 to provide support for St. Olaf College faculty working to meet the challenges posed by these changes. On the premise that the liberal arts colleges are ideal laboratories for pedagogical innovation and reform, CILA provides time and space for conversations and collaboration among faculty about learning, teaching, and scholarship.
