Scholarly Teaching Advisory Network

This group will help guide TLI support for UT faculty members who want to conduct research on their teaching activities, and it will also support the process of incorporating grant-funded research into courses and curricula, in collaboration with the Office of Research, Innovation, and Economic Development, among other units. Dr. Chris Kilgore (ckilgor4@utk.edu), TLI’s Associate Director for the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, is organizing and leading this group. The following faculty and staff members have been nominated to represent their units, and we are also engaged in ongoing recruitment efforts, so additional group members will be added soon.
