TCC: Fall Conversation #1-Teaching with Joy: Research and Practice in Playful Pedagogy (September 29, 2026)

Back to all events

09/29/2026
TCC Room (Building 12, Room 201) or join via Zoom
02:00 pm - 03:00 pm

As we settle into the semester, we would like to invite you to the Teaching and Creativity Center's first Conversation Series session of the semester on Tuesday, September 29, from 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. This year's theme is Joy, Play, and Creativity.

For our first session, we are delighted to welcome special guests from Nazareth University's Play Collaborative Group: Eileen Radigan, Trista Nilsson, and Mary Lugo. During this interactive session, our presenters will share pedagogical scholarship related to play and creativity in teaching and learning while demonstrating playful teaching practices that you can experience firsthand and potentially incorporate into your own classroom.

The program will take place in the TCC Room (Building 12-201), with a Zoom option available for those who wish to participate virtually.

We look forward to welcoming you as we begin this semester's Conversation Series and explore together how joy, play, and creativity can grow our teaching and learning experiences.

We hope you can join us!

The event is designed to meet the following goal of the Teaching and Creativity Center's programming: 

  • Goal 1: Create a culture of critical reflection, continual growth, and collaboration for faculty at all stages of professional growth
  • Goal 2: Promote evidence-based, high-impact, innovative course design and teaching strategies that improve student outcomes
  • Goal 3: Facilitate faculty inquiry into the study of teaching & learning with an equity lens
