Luther Seminary : 2001 Seminar
Newsbrief
Luther has assembled a team of ten faculty colleagues, including administrators, who are cross-divisional and set apart from the usual governance structures of the seminary. This colleague cohort is committed to creating a public forum for teaching and learning conversations over the academic year 2002-2003. “Through this process,” writes Academic Dean Marc Kolden, “we will deliberately broaden the reservoir of metaphors we use for teaching and learning. In particular, we seek to highlight an understanding of teaching/learning as a relational process that has a deep vocational/ministerial core to it. These goals are ambitious and seek to further both our institutional commitment to our mission and its recognition of the rapidly changing contexts around us, as well as to create an environment that can be more easily adaptive and imaginative.”
