Stage 2 - Learning to Teach in Higher Education

I received a certificate for Exeter's Stage 2 programme on Learning to Teach in Higher Education (LTHE), which included 18 hours of instruction. I learned participatory teaching methods and appropriate grading practices and was introduced to research on teaching in higher education. I applied the learnings by doing the required 10 hours of teaching assistance for my PhD supervisor, which included seminar design and teaching for three seminars, marking papers, and offering two drop-in essay clinics for first year undergraduate students.  I also designed a 10 minute teaching module that was evaluated during the LTHE course.

I received a certificate for Stage 1 of Exeter's Learning to Teach in Higher Education (LTHE) programme, a one-day prerequisite for the Stage 2 course.

I have had a paper accepted for an open call section on patristic views on nature that can be read constructively with eco-theology today. The paper title is 'Augustine’s Ontological Concept of “Dynamic Abiding”:  The Gift and Value of Continued Creaturely Existence and Agency for All Creatures'.

2014 Craigville Theological Colloquy

I was one of the invited presenters for this week-long ecumenical theological conference, and I was heavily involved in the design of the colloquy, the theme of which was Creation as Theology and Ecology.  I gave a series of three presentations on new ways of interpreting biblical passages about creation (from the Old and New Testaments) in light of the need to respond to ecological issues, including climate change, and with an aim of understanding creation theology in new ways.  I also created the detailed colloquy bibliography, and co-planned and co-led the opening worship service.
