Faculty Association of the University of Waterloo
200 University Avenue West
Waterloo, Ontario, Canada N2L 3G1
The Faculty Association (FAUW) held a Town Hall for lecturers on Wednesday December 7. Due to a scheduling conflict, and given that the Faculty of Mathematics has a large number of lecturers focused more on service than undergraduate teaching, we're holding a second session to make sure that the interests of this subset are not overlooked.
Part of the Gender and Equity Scholarship Series
Speaker: Madhur Anand (Waterloo Institute for Complexity & Innovation)
Madhur Anand, director of the Waterloo Institute for Complexity & Innovation, and professor at the University of Guelph School of Environmental Sciences, will give an informal talk on her experience in academia, highlighting the importance of international perspective, adaptive management of diverse goals, and creative approaches.
The Lecturers Committee invites all lecturers to attend a town hall meeting on December 7 from 12:30–2:00 in STC 0010.
Please come share your experiences and meet other lecturers from across campus.
Note: This event has been rescheduled so as not to conflict with the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women event at 10:30 am on December 6. We encourage you to attend the memorial on December 6, as well as the FAUW General Meeting at noon that day.
Members of the Faculty Association Board of Directors will be at the School of Architecture campus in downtown Cambridge on December 1 to meet with faculty members.
Please join us in room 1101 between 12:30 and 1:30 for coffee and a snack, to get to know your faculty representatives, and to ask any questions you have of board members and FAUW staff.
The Council of Representatives provides two-way communication between the FAUW Board of Directors and each academic unit at Waterloo. Each department or school selects one faculty member, in whatever way they choose, to act as a liaison between that unit and the Board.
You can approach your representative about any concerns you think should be brought to FAUW's attention at any time.
The council and board meet in person twice a year, in the fall and winter terms, and communicate via email in between.

Feel free to stay for informal discussion and light refreshments afterwards.

Documenting your teaching in a dossier involves harmonizing claims, narrative descriptions of practice, and evidence. This process can be guided by preparing your own teaching philosophy statement, which is a kind of thesis for the argument you wish to make about yourself as a teacher.

St. Jerome's University and the University of Waterloo present a talk by Jennifer Berdahl, PhD.
Jennifer Berdahl examines how various organizations have attempted to deal with gender – from trying to “fix” the women to changing the way that everyone thinks about men and women. Organizations that successfully integrate women, she argues, are more successful than their competitors.
