Graduate Sociology Student Teachers' Association (GSSTA)
Listserve Information: http://lists.luc.edu/listinfo/gssta
For more information email: Kristin Blakely
Description: The GSSTA is composed of graduate sociology students at Loyola University Chicago. The group functions as a forum for students interested in teaching and especially for those who are currently teaching either at Loyola or another college and those working as teaching assistants to discuss teaching-related issues. We meet once every three weeks on the Loyola Lakeshore Campus, Damen Hall, 9th floor meeting room. The group also communicates over a listserve. The group provides a network of support and resources for students to swap teaching ideas and materials, engage in discussion around logistical and pedagogical teaching issues, and to learn from each others' experiences.
