Food for Thought is the Grove Center’s semester series of informal interactive conversations about interdisciplinary teaching and learning. The topics for these discussion sessions are announced at the start of each semester, and the sessions themselves are usually hosted over the lunch hour. The list of upcoming topics can always be found in the “Events” section of our website. Any faculty, staff, postdocs, and students involved in any aspect of instruction are welcome to join the discussion!
The Grove Center’s primary goal in hosting the Food for Thought discussions is to support and nurture a culture of learning, continuous growth, and collaboration within our educational community. Each session focuses on educational topics curated from recent innovations, current challenges, or areas of interest identified by practitioners in our community.
If you’d like more information, have a topic you would like us to host, or want to be added to our community LISTSERV, please contact us.
