Do you want a first look at the creative approaches that could change the way courses are taught in Arts & Sciences? The Teaching Innovation Showcase is an opportunity to hear from innovative A&S faculty who are transforming the classroom learning experience. Sociology's own Liz Chiarello will present on her experiential teaching project WashU on Wheels - an effort to help students understand how social inequality can result from the built environment.
