Finding The Surprise: A Case Study Of A Faculty Learning Community, Roberta M. Michel
Finding The Surprise: A Case Study Of A Faculty Learning Community, Roberta M. Michel
Academic Leadership Journal in Student Research
This article details a faculty learning community (FLC) that started in 2009 on the campus of a Midwestern University and has evolved into an interdisciplinary research, teaching and social community of practice and learning called SurPriSe. SurPriSe is an acronym that reflects the interest area of the FLC; Sur for surveillance, Pri for privacy, and Se for security. This case study provides understanding of the social context, the institution and the nature of encouraging established faculty to engage in new research and pedagogical interests that are interdisciplinary.
