What we’re reading 2019 highlights

By Valeria De La Vega on December 17, 2019

“What we’re reading” is a regular feature in Dialogues, the CTLT’s bi-monthly newsletter. In each edition, one staff member at the CTLT shares what they are currently reading and offers some poignant suggestions for your reading list. This edition, we are pleased to present a look at this year’s “What we’re reading” highlights with contributions from Christina Hendricks, Afsaneh Sharif, Ido Roll, Hanae Tsukada, Jeff Miller and Jackie Stewart.

In January, Christina Hendricks, academic director at the CTLT, shared her reading list. Here she shared that Maha Bali, associate professor of practice at the Center for Learning and Teaching at The American University in Cairo, is a writer that inspires her.

In February, Afsaneh Sharif, senior project manager and faculty liaison, shared her reading list noting that she had recently started to read Michelle Obama’s memoir Becoming.

In April, Ido Roll, former ISoTL director and senior manager for research and evaluation, shared his bookshelf. A book about learning that he enjoys and often returns to is Constructivist Instruction: Success or Failure?, edited by Sigmund Tobias and Thomas M. Duffy.

In June, Hanae Tsukada, an educational strategist at UBC’s Equity & Inclusion Office who works in partnership with the CTLT, shared her reading list. She unveiled that the book Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire inspired her to pursue her work in equity and inclusion.

For the summer edition, Jeff Miller, senior associate director of projects and faculty partnerships, shared his reading list. He expressed that his interest in pursuing work around teaching, learning and innovation was initially inspired by some of Marshall McLuhan’s books, particularly The Gutenberg Galaxy and Understanding Media.

In October, Jackie Stewart, deputy academic director, shared her bookshelf. A book that helps guide her work is Powerful Teaching by Pooja K. Agarwal and Patrice M. Bain.
