Abstract:
Ever wished you could find new ways to invigorate a course you've taught many times, or a general education requirement that inspires low levels of student engagement? Consider using popular culture examples to engage students, incorporate diverse voices in the classroom, and increase student participation! Results from a large-scale study of the use of pop culture in college instruction will be shared; and through case studies and session discussions, participants will learn best practices for incorporating pop culture in their own classrooms.
