One key way is through journal clubs. Celeste Suart, Michelle Ogrodnik, and Megan Suttie’s “Learning the Landscape: Using Journal Clubs to Introduce Graduate Students and Early-Career Researchers to SoTL” provides many recommendations for finding, participating in, or even creating a journal club. In addition to learning about SoTL, journal clubs can provide a supportive community and a multidisciplinary space for cross-fertilization of ideas, ultimately making the field “a little less intimidating.” Chapter DOI: https://doi.org/10.36284/celelon.oa6.5 Related Book ResourcesJournal Club Preparation WorksheetDiscussion Questions What disciplinary assumptions do you bring with you when reading new literature and assessing the quality of a SoTL paper? How might this differ with scholars from other disciplinary backgrounds? What methodologies in SoTL are you most uncomfortable with? Reflect on what might be the root causes of this discomfort and identify two resources to learn more about this challenging methodology. How could you use a journal club format to promote connection between SoTL scholars on your campus? How might your approach differ between connecting existing SoTL champions and newcomers to SoTL? What, if any, opportunities are available on campus to promote the longevity of a potential journal club (e.g., funding, support from campus units, support from campus leaders)? Share:
