From UCSB Affiliates:

Joy and Rigor: What Joy-Centered Teaching Does for Students and for Us

UCSB ecologist and educator Jackie Shay knows the feeling firsthand. She’ll share how she went from being convinced she’d “faked her way” into science to a professor who studies how people learn, and why her answer to imposter syndrome is joyful curiosity.
