"Problem- and case-based learning about biology-in-society"
April 22-25, 2010 Workshop in Woods Hole MA, USA
http://www.stv.umb.edu/newssc10b.html

The topic and the processes of this workshop are designed to attract a
diverse group of scientists, science educators, and scholars from the
various areas of science and technology studies interested in the life
sciences and pedagogical innovation.

With an eye to training "interdisciplinarians" the workshop will include
graduate students (who can get course credit) as well as more
experienced scholars.

Applicants should:

a) submit to sicw@umb.edu by 15 January 2010 a written account of your
innovations (or planned innovations) in research, teaching, and wider
outreach in response to the thought-piece at
http://www.stv.umb.edu/newssc10b.html;

b) be prepared to lead an activity during the workshop that helps other
participants develop knowledge, skills, and interest in these
innovations. (The organizer will consult with participants in February
or March to help plan such activities.)

Both the products and the processes of the workshop will be documented
on the web. The pre-submitted innovations in research, teaching, and
wider outreach, supplemented by a record of the accompanying activities
at the workshop made by a participant-evaluator, will be assembled for a
special edition of a journal.

There is no charge for the workshop, but applicants are expected to make
every effort to secure support for travel to Woods Hole and
accommodation. Limited funds are available to support participants who
are unable to find others sources of funding, with priority to students
and independent scholars.
