This is Episode 28 of the Centering Centers Podcast. I’m your host for this episode, Lindsay Doukopoulos. I serve as Associate Director for Educational Development in the Biggio Center at Auburn University. I also serve as co-chair of PODs Digital Resources and Innovations committee. This episode is the next installment in our chapter on the Scholarship of Educational Development and today I’m thrilled to speak with Anna Flaming.

Anna L. Bostwick Flaming is Director of the Center for Teaching in the Office of Teaching, Learning & Technology and affiliate faculty in the Department of Gender, Women’s & Sexuality Studies at the University of Iowa. Anna’s interests include inclusive teaching, active learning, course design, the Scholarship of Educational Development (SoED), the history of higher education, and the history of gender. She is chair of the Professional and Organizational Development (POD) Network in Higher Education’s Scholarship Committee, which supports the POD Network’s strategic goal of “advancing evidence-based practice.”

Our conversation covers topic ranging from the value of multi-disciplinary perspectives in the scholarship of educational development to the power-dynamics of CTL vocabulary choices to the way in which considerations of positionality and inclusion inform the work of the POD Network's Scholarship Committee and its subcommittees.
