What is it?
The aim of the Open Teaching Concept is to explore the issues of diversity and social justice, access and disparities, policy and poverty over a variety of disciplines, methods, theories, and paradigms. Looking at such topics as human rights, civil rights, hunger, multiculturalism, gender, labor and production, health, education, LGBT rights, economic opportunity, sexual violence, class, religious difference, environmental sustainability—OTC will allow students, faculty, and staff to dialogue on the larger questions of social responsibility, global citizenship, and the ever-widening, ever-constricting local global nexus.
Can anyone attend?
Yes, Open Teaching Concept Faculty Fellows open their classrooms to any student, faculty, or staff member interested in attending. Students have the opportunity to explore new conversations, perspectives, and disciplines by dropping into a class outside of their major.
"I like the concept of the open teaching classes because it gives the students a chance to listen to another professor and make connections between courses. " - TTU student feedback
