CTL Grad Workshops:

"Teaching with Objects: Using Material Culture (and other Objects) in the Classroom."

Speaker: Clark Erickson, Anthropology

Converner: Beth Hallowell, CTL Fellow Anthropology

Summary: We all know that objects are great to think with, but how might we incorporate them into the classroom? What does it mean to teach with and through objects in different subdisciplines of anthropology, as well as related disciplines like art history? Did you know that you can use the displays and objects at the Penn Museum for teaching purposes? In this workshop, we will discuss strategies for incorporating museum displays, material culture, and other objects into the classroom. While this workshop will focus on the specific resources available through the Penn Museum, we will also discuss more general strategies for teaching with and through objects outside of this context.
