We know that students and instructors may be experiencing anguish and anxiety over the war in the Middle East and its repercussions on our campus. How do you take care of yourself as a PhD student, and look out for undergraduates during this challenging time? How do you navigate difficult moments in the classroom? Harvard Griffin GSAS and the Derek Bok Center for Teaching and Learning are hosting drop-in hours for TFs who are seeking support, want to share concerns, or get connected to resources.
Additional sessions:
October 27, 1:00-2:00 pm (GSAS Student Center – Fireside Room, #101)
November 2, 12:00-1:00 pm (Zoom)
Bok Center resources for teaching during times of crisis and handling difficult moments in the classroom:
