Previous Years' Course Catalogues

This required first-year course for doctoral students deals with fundamental aspects of advanced research and scholarship. Students will (1) formulate their research problem for SSHRC or another granting agency in relation to relevant interdisciplinary scholarly approaches and theological sub-disciplines; (2) discuss how to identify relevant evidence and engage with relevant research methods; (3) communicate knowledge effectively in an academic, ecumenical, and multireligious context through class presentations; and (4) demonstrate an openness to dialoguing with, and learning from, people from communities, whose beliefs and practices are different from their own in their first-year cohort and with guest presenters from across the TST.

We all leave doctoral studies as experts in our fields and walk into classrooms full of non-expert students. What now? This course addresses the relationship between subject knowledge and teaching. Topics include issues related to course design and delivery (e.g., syllabus construction, assignments, development of outcomes; objectives) as well as to broader pedagogical issues (e.g., education for [trans]formation, relationships between classroom and context, professional identity).
