    We are very excited to announce our keynote speaker: Jessamyn Neuhaus, author of Geeky Pedagogy: A Guide for Intellectuals, Introverts, and Nerds Who Want to Be Effective Teachers. 
     
    Geeky Pedagogy: A Path to Effective Online and Face-to-Face Teaching for Bookworms, Nerds and Introverts
    In this keynote, I discuss ways that nerdy college instructors like myself, who are often better at research, reading, and scholarly work than "peopling," can apply our academic skills and abilities towards acquiring pedagogical content knowledge and effective teaching, whether online or face-to-face. In short, I'll be inviting you to geek out about teaching and learning! Through the lens of the five pedagogical practices I detail in my 2019 book Geeky Pedagogy: A Guide for Intellectuals, Introverts, and Nerds Who Want to Be Effective Teachers (West Virginia University Press)-awareness, preparation, reflection, support and practice-we'll explore some proven, sustainable techniques for effective teaching and learning in the new poly-synchronous higher education class modality. My goal is to empower you to fight the "super-teacher" myth, inspire you to cultivate an educator's growth mindset, and add some new tools to your teaching tool kit.
