Explore selections from a comprehensive contemporary photographic project depicting higher education in the US during this interactive, single-session workshop. Using photographs from the project and an open-source photo collection, participants will observe and reflect on teaching and learning in action across a wide variety of institutions and disciplines, and will come away with insights about the roles of instructors and students, in-class learning, spaces and technologies that support (or hinder) teaching and learning, and more. They will also explore how visual representations of their work could contribute to professional materials. By the end of this workshop, participants will be prepared to:

• Observe and reflect on teaching using photographs as a prompt and source of insight
• Apply insights from observations to their own teaching
