  • Event Type: Reading and discussion group

Are you interested in learning how to motivate your students to engage in your course, learn the material, and do their own work rather than offloading it to AI? Join the journal club this winter as we read 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People, by David Yeager, Professor of Psychology at UT Austin. This book, which is directed toward instructors as well as parents and employers, considers motivation through the lens of developmental psychology. It couples descriptions of research studies with anecdotes about real people who have succeeded in motivating the young people they interact with.  

The book will be available in downloadable ebook form through the UO Libraries. Participants interested in purchasing their own copies may do so through the usual outlets.

As always, we welcome participants from all ranks and disciplines to join us each week or to drop in for selected conversations. 

Journal club takes place Thursdays, 9:00-10:00, Weeks 1-Finals. Join us in person in LISB 217 or virtually via Zoom.
