Professor and chair of the Department of Linguistics Michal Temkin Martinez co-authored the foreword to a recently published special issue of the Proceedings of the Linguistic Society of America on the future of teaching linguistics.
The peer-reviewed special issue features selected presentations from a symposium presented at the 2024 annual meeting of the Linguistic Society of America. Temkin Martinez moderated and helped organize the symposium, “Teaching Linguistics: A Glimpse Into the Future,” as a member of the Special Interest Group on Scholarly Teaching in Linguistics.
The special issue is open-access and can be read on the Linguistic Society of America website.
Temkin Martinez also attended the annual meeting of the International Society for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning in October.
There she co-authored and gave a podium presentation with long time collaborators Professor Kazuko Hiramatsu (University of Michigan-Flint) and Professor Catherine Anderson (McMaster University, Ontario, Canada) illustrating how two different faculty collaboratives facilitated by the authors—a Faculty Learning Community led by Temkin Martinez and Hiramatsu, and a Community of Practice founded by Anderson—have built capacity for scholarly teaching and led to important advances in justice-oriented work in the discipline of linguistics.
Temkin Martinez and Hiramatsu have been facilitating the Faculty Learning Community with the support of three National Science Foundation grants since fall 2019.
