SUMMARY:International Conference in Innovative Teaching: Improving the University for Future Generations (IACIT@RCC)
DESCRIPTION:<p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<span style="color:black">We are pleased to announce the <strong>International Annual Conference in Innovative Teaching: Renovating the University for Future Generations (IACIT@RCC)</strong>, which will take place at RCC–Harvard on </span>May 16-17<span style="color:black">, 2019. </span></p><p class="Normal1" style="border: none; text-align: center;">	<drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="8c801442-79a0-44a5-8492-4d87018735ed" alt="IACIT"></drupal-media></p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	 </p><p class="Normal1" style="border: none; text-align: center;">	<a data-url="https://rcc.harvard.edu/files/rcc/files/iacit_2019.pdf" href="/file_url/1601" target="_blank" title=""><drupal-media data-entity-type="media" data-entity-uuid="057c1b78-14ff-4e3b-9a42-a7db482a3aa4" alt="iacitprogram"></drupal-media></a></p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<strong>Call for Papers</strong></p><p class="Normal1" style="text-align:justify">	<strong>IACIT@RCC</strong><span style="color:black"> aims to contribute to the development of innovative techniques in teaching and new educational approaches in higher education. Traditionally, due to a combination of factors, instructors have relegated students to a passive role inside the classroom, so a first point of reflection is exploring to what degree students should become active participants in their own learning, both in and outside the classroom and the potential of the variety of tools and dynamics that can be implemented to that end, highlighting the examples and best practices we should all follow when pursuing improvements in the ways we teach. Technological innovation is driving change in all aspects of society, and thus, teaching should evolve by taking into consideration the potential of new technological trends and possibilities to transform the ways we teach and thus, another point of reflection should be if technology should play an even larger role in education and if so, which technical innovations should be adopted and why. </span></p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<span style="color:black">This conference welcomes proposals that deal with these and any other topics related to innovation in higher education. We especially encourage the presentation of works that approach these topics from a practical perspective and through the sharing of experiences and best practices. </span></p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<strong>Requirements for participants</strong></p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<span style="color:black">Applicants must send an abstract up to 250 words, including 6 keywords, title, author, and affiliation. The call is open for graduate students, postdoctoral researchers and professors from any institution and we especially encourage the participation of young scholars at the beginning stages of their teaching careers in higher education. Proposals must be in English. </span></p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<strong>Key Dates</strong></p><p>	<span style="background:white"><span><span style="color:black">Submission deadline: February 28, 2019</span></span></span></p><p>	<span><span style="color:black"><span style="background:white"><span style="caret-color:#000000;text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="orphans:auto"><span style="widows:auto"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto"><span style="float:none"><span style="word-spacing:0px">Author notification: March 15, 2019</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p>	<span><span style="color:black"><span style="background:white"><span style="caret-color:#000000;text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="orphans:auto"><span style="widows:auto"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto"><span style="float:none"><span style="word-spacing:0px">Early bird registration deadline: May 1, 2019</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></p><p>	<span><span style="color:black">Full Conference Program: May 6, 2019 </span></span></p><p>	<span><span style="color:black"><span style="background:white"><span style="caret-color:#000000;text-align:start;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px"><span style="font-variant-caps:normal"><span style="orphans:auto"><span style="widows:auto"><span style="-webkit-text-size-adjust:auto"><span style="float:none"><span style="word-spacing:0px">Conference dates: May 16-17, 2019</span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br> </p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<strong>Conference Fees</strong></p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<span style="color:black">Early bird registration fee: $50. </span></p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<span style="color:black">Full conference fee: $80. </span></p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<span style="color:black">Any further inquiries can be directed to the scientific committee </span><a data-url="https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_07nvKx6UFEbVmGp" href="https://harvard.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_07nvKx6UFEbVmGp" title="">using this online form</a><span style="color:black">. </span></p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<span style="color:black">Conference Organizers/Scientific Committee: </span></p><p class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">	<span style="color:black">RCC Postdoctoral Fellows at Harvard University:</span></p><ul>	<li class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">		<strong>Diego Chapinal Heras </strong><span style="color:black">(Postdoctoral Researcher at the Department of the Classics at Harvard University)</span>	</li>	<li class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">		<strong>Sara García Linares</strong><span style="color:black"> (Postdoctoral Researcher at Harvard Medical School)</span>	</li>	<li class="Normal1" style="border:none;text-align:justify">		<strong>Eva Gil González </strong><span style="color:black">(Postdoctoral Fellow at the Harvard John A.
