Suggestions would be appreciatedIf you want use video at all the PBS Evolution series was fabulous, and included a little dramatization of Darwin's life... ----- Original Message ----- From: DeVolder Carol L To: Teaching in the Psychological Sciences (TIPS) Sent: Tuesday, August 28, 2007 10:32 AM Subject: [tips] Suggestions would be appreciated
Dear Colleagues, Our biology department is planning a "Darwin Festival" for the 2008-2009 academic year, and I have been asked if I'd like to participate. At this point, the plans are merely in the brain storm phase, and I've been told that my part could range from something as formal as a lecture to something as informal as standing on my head reading the Origin of Species. Since I haven't been able to stand on my head in years, I figure I'd better come up with something a little more structured (although I do have a year to practice). All joking aside, I wonder if some of you have suggestions that would fall somewhere in the same range. I've thought of a few things--for example, the evolution of humor, something within the comparative psychology realm, the Bell Curve, the value of play (again, from a comparative perspective possibly), and topics from evolutionary psychology. I'd like to do something other than lecture (that sounds so dry to me). I know there are some imaginative people on this list so I am appealing to all of you. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
