Faculty of Teaching and Learning hosts open conversation
As far as the Faculty of General Education is concerned, Mount Royal University is not an ivory tower and nor should it be.
In fact, in September the faculty members of general education decided it would be a great opportunity for Mount Royal to engage with the community by bringing some popular academic discussion on current topics to their doorstep. And more importantly, to let them take in the conversation.
“We thought as a community it would be a nice way to take ourselves out of the classroom and talk to people about the books we’re reading and some of us are teaching,” says Karim Dharamsi, PhD, a coordinator in the Department of General Education.
