ACLS Doctoral Futures Town Hall – Let’s Talk Pedagogy

How are programs teaching the next generation of scholars — and are they being prepared to become teachers themselves?

This interactive virtual town hall invites graduate students, faculty, and academic professionals into an open conversation about pedagogy in doctoral education. You’ll explore two interconnected questions: how doctoral students are taught, and how they are prepared to teach others.

From mentorship and curricular design to classroom preparation, examine what it means for doctoral programs to model the very practices they hope their students will carry forward. Your insights are central to this discussion, so come ready to share your experiences, questions, and perspectives as students, instructors, and mentors. Whether you’re navigating your own training or shaping the programs that deliver it, you’re invited to join ACLS in this discussion.
