Episode 20: Behind the Podcast

Guests: David Macasaet, Molly Harris, Laura Schmidli

Creating a poster for the UW-Madison 2024 Teaching & Learning Symposium prompts L&S Exchange Producers David, Molly, and Laura to take time to reflect on two seasons of work on the podcast. They share what they’ve learned from guests about inclusive teaching, and how the collaborative–and sometimes risky–process of producing a podcast has been worthwhile for sustaining conversations about teaching and learning. Listen for takeaways for your own teaching and outreach!

• We were honored and excited to present a poster titled “The L&S Exchange: Sparking Conversations About Inclusive Teaching,” including insights from our guests, design ideas from our production process, and tips for leveraging technology. We demonstrate tools and share personal reflections in our kiosk slideshow.
• The UW-Madison Teaching & Learning Symposium is an annual event that brings together faculty, staff, TAs, and campus community members to share successes, discuss challenges, and discover ideas related to teaching and learning. The 2024 theme was “Shaping the Future.”
• In the keynote address, Dr. Corbin M. Campbell spoke to different spheres of influence within a university. We hope that the L&S Exchange helps instructors connect to their colleagues through stories and conversations about teaching.
