 Led by Rebecca Miller Brown and Jen Thum, *Associate Director of Academic Engagement & Campus Partnerships and Research Curator, Harvard Art Museums*

 Objects are valuable tools for instructors of any subject: they illustrate arguments, give tangible expression to ideas, and provide a means to engage with concepts in new and novel ways. But how can they be integrated most effectively in interdisciplinary classes? How can we teach students to “read” them? In this seminar we will explore and practice strategies for encouraging analytical reasoning, critical thinking, and observational skills through engagement with the Harvard Art Museums’ collections. By the end of this seminar, you will have created a catalog of objects to use in your teaching and deliver a short object-based lesson at the museums. This seminar is designed for new and experienced TFs from all disciplines and requires no prior experience in teaching with museum collections.

 *This is the first session of a 5-session seminar. Registration required.*
