Approaches to Coming Back to In Person Classes
Show Notes

Associate Professor of Sociology & Sexuality Studies Valerie Francisco-Menchavez and Assistant Professor of Sociology & Sexuality Studies Jen Reck engage in conversation about what it has been like to return to in-person instruction. Faculty and students alike have had to grapple with their own feelings around returning to campus and misgivings about being back in the classroom. Reck treated the first in-person session as a “get to know you” time to help students get comfortable with one another and be together in one space. Many of our students are on a college campus for the first time ever, so it is important for instructors to remember that acclimation is essential for the remote to in-person transition.
