Pedagogy Fellows 2021-22: Year in Review

June 15, 2022

As we close the books on the academic year, we are taking stock of what we’ve learned, and planning for the coming year. Our programs always strive to reflect the current moment, as we adjust to the needs of each year of teaching. 2021–22 was the year of being “back again” on campus, of teaching with masks, and of getting used to being together in the classroom again.

Recognizing this challenge, the Bok Center recently collaborated with...

Flexibility in Form: Podcasting with Spanish 50

February 4, 2022

At Bok, we are heartened by the adaptability of our fellows and their students.
