Teaching Comparison in the Undergraduate Curriculum

Submitted to Program Units
1: Pre-Conference Workshops (November)

Massimo Rondolino, Carroll University, Presiding

Abstract for Online Program Book (maximum 150 words)

"In this collaborative workshop, we will examine and engage in strategies and approaches for teaching comparison in undergraduate courses. All are welcome, regardless of the particular discipline or course within which they ask students to compare, whether Religious Studies, Theology, History, or any other. Our two driving questions for the workshop will be:
How do we apply critical approaches to comparison mindfully when teaching students in majors and in general education curricula?
How do we equip students with sufficient sensitivity and critical self-awareness to engage constructively in comparison (cognitively and affectively)?
Registered participants will be invited to prepare a brief case study (prompt and instructions are emailed in October). At the end of the workshop, all participants will have a set of adaptable, practical strategies that they can apply in their own teaching, and a support network of fellow scholar-educators with teaching and research expertise in comparison."
