Faculty Showcase Presentations | School of Historical, Philosophical and Religious Studies

As part of its annual programming, the SHPRS Online Education Committee organized the 2026 Faculty Showcase dedicated to highlighting effective teaching practices in online and hybrid courses. The showcase brought together faculty and graduate students from history, philosophy and religious studies, each presenting an assignment, activity or course design strategy that has proven meaningful, creative or successful in their teaching.

This webpage extends the goals of the in-person Faculty Showcase beyond the event itself by featuring recorded presentations prepared by participating faculty. As part of the SHPRS Teaching Resources, this page serves as an ongoing reference for instructors seeking concrete examples, adaptable strategies, and inspiration for their own courses.
