How the Science of Learning Can Be Leveraged for Change with Kelly Hogan and Viji Sathy

Kelly Hogan (https://bio.unc.edu/faculty-profile/hogan/) and Viji Sathy (https://undergrad-ed.unc.edu/person/viji-sathy/), award winning instructors at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and authors of the book, Inclusive Teaching: Strategies for Promoting Equity in the College Classroom (2022), have found a way to communicate the large volume of research behind equitable and inclusive teaching to a national audience. In this episode, we ask Drs. Hogan and Sathy how they approach the use of learning research and translate it to their audiences. They discuss the structural impediments in higher education that often prevent bringing this research to practice, and how these practices might be changed. Kelly Hogan is Associate Dean of Instructional Innovation and a STEM Teaching Professor in Biology, and Viji Sathy is Associate Dean for Evaluation and Assessment and a Professor of the Practice in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at UNC Chapel Hill.Resources* Inclusive Teaching: Strategies for Promoting Equity in the College Classroom (2022) by Kelly Hogan and Viji Sathy* The L Word (https://www.insidehighered.com/views/2022/12/16/consider-faculty-labor-student-success-efforts-opinion) (Inside Higher Ed, December 16, 2022) by Jody Greene * Center for the Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (CIRTL) (https://cirtl.net/) Network * The work of Kimberly Tanner (https://biology.sfsu.edu/faculty/tanner)
