Bruce Gillespie, Michelle Goodridge, and Shirley Hall’s “Reaching Across the Disciplines to Build a Grassroots SoTL Community” presents the experiences of a professor, an academic librarian, and an educational developer who work together at a small liberal arts college to run a multidisciplinary, SoTL-focused community of practice. In sharing their lessons learned, they illustrate ways for others to be strategic about fostering a SoTL culture at their own institutions.
