Centering Centers

Inflections & Innuendos


Listen Later

I do not know which to prefer,   

The beauty of inflections   

Or the beauty of innuendoes,   

The blackbird whistling   

Or just after.   

--Wallace Stevens, "13 Ways of Looking at a Blackbird"

 

In this season of Centering Centers, we are speaking with educational

developers from diverse centers about their inspirations and innovations – what
drives their work and approaches that have impact.

 Today we are speaking with Robert Gray, an Associate Professor

of University Pedagogy in the Department of Education at the University of
Bergen in Bergen, Norway who has over 20 years of experience in higher ed
professional development. Before moving to Norway, Rob taught literature
courses and led professional development at numerous institutions including:
University of Alabama at Birmingham, the University of South Alabama, and the
University of Stavanger. His research interests include teaching and learning in
higher education, how technology impacts assessment practices in higher
education, peer feedback, various aspects of interaction inside and outside the
classroom, and how we define quality in teaching and learning. In addition, he
has published three books of poetry and directed an award-winning documentary
film on race relations in the American South.
