The CFT and Jewish Studies are proud to co-sponsor a talk by Dr. Megan Goodwin, most recently a visiting scholar at Northeastern University’s Department of Philosophy and Religion. Dr. Goodwin’s research and teaching stands at the intersection of gender, sexuality, race, religion, pop culture, and politics in the United States. She is the author of Abusing Religion: Literary Persecution, Sex Scandals, and American Minority Religions (Rutgers 2020) and has taught a variety of creative and engaging courses at Northeastern University, Bates College, Elon University, and the University of Southern Maine.  She completed an Andrew W. Mellon Foundation postdoc in Creative and Innovative Pedagogy in the Humanities at Bates College (2014-16) and her teaching has been featured in Women in Higher Education and Sowing the Seed.  Dr. Goodwin will discuss creative approaches to course design, accessibility, and fostering student engagement.  The talk will be from 12:00-1:00pm, September 19th, in Room 202 in Alumni Hall.  Lunch will be provided.  We hope you can attend!
