The Global and Glocal Context: Presentations in this category examine social and political context for facilitating exemplary integrative learning both globally and where we live.

Institutional/Organizational Transformation: Presentations in this category explore systems and structural approaches to engage people in advancing integrative learning. Examples include campus-wide initiatives; policies and practices; partnerships such as university-community, university-PK-12, university-government and university-industry/business collaborations; curricula reform, revision, integration; enterprise systems such as e-portfolios; cultural credit; general education programs; physical infrastructure/spaces; human infrastructure including leadership and other professional development; organizational efforts with potential for system-level scale up

Literacies: Presentations in this category highlight specific ways of incorporating writing, quantitative, STEM, digital, and information literacies into the variety of learning environments and experiences across the educational continuum. Presentations in this category examine approaches for creating and experimenting with ways of teaching and learning communicative practices. As higher education continues to grapple with changing needs and instructional landscapes, competency in these literacies will continue to be important to students and instructors alike. How are critical literacies best taught, and how do students best learn?

Academic Endeavors: Presentations in this category explore area, department, program, unit level, and/or inter-/trans-/cross-disciplinary approaches to what works in fostering integrative learning by stakeholders (students, alumni, faculty, staff, broader community). Examples include transformative practices and dialogues; evidence-based practices in integrative learning at the area, course, program, department, and/or inter-/trans-/cross-disciplinary levels; engagements that place the hyphen in teacher-scholar, teacher-artist, and/or teacher-practitioner roles.

Pedagogical Practices in Integrative Learning: Presentations in this category explore pedagogical tools for designing, implementing and assessing integrative learning experiences. Presentations in this category can highlight all aspects of the student’s learning experience (curricula and co-curricula) that advance learning beyond engagement. Presentations that demonstrate integrative learning through specific teaching and learning practices are invited: for example, service learning and community-based engaged learning, undergraduate research and creative activity, first-year seminars and experiences, common intellectual experiences, writing intensive experiences, capstone courses and projects, collaborative assignments and projects, diversity and global learning, etc.

Meeting Students Where They Are: Presentations in this category explore the nature of students and what works in fostering integrative leaning by multiple generations of diverse students including first generation students, international students, non-traditional students, students with disabilities, the prison population, diverse faiths and cultures, diverse sexual identity, students of color, etc.

The Brown Fellows Symposium: The Brown Fellows Symposium was established in honor of pioneers Hyatt and Cici Brown. The symposium offers a forum for Stetson University's Brown Fellows and teacher-scholar leaders to disseminate their work to a broad audience. Presentations in this category highlight innovative and promising practices by Stetson University’s Brown Visiting Teacher-Scholar Fellows, Brown Innovation Fellows, Brown Fellows, Provost Faculty Fellows, and other faculty leaders supported by Brown innovation funding. Authors may select paper, poster, and/or round-table demonstration format.
