Oral Health Equity Now: Policy, Progress, and Research Insights

Wednesday, November 29, 2023: 5:00pm - 6:00pm

Oral health equity is a vital concern that is not often seen as a priority for the public and policy makers. Oral health and overall health are inextricably linked. The mouth mirrors the body. Inequities in oral health often reflect broader health and societal inequalities. Understanding oral health disparities empowers individuals and communities to advocate for policies and practices that promote equal access to dental care. Join Dr. Catherine Hayes and Dr. Hawazin Elani in a discussion of the complexities that surround oral health equity, public health policies, and cutting-edge research happening today.

2023 HILT Conference

"Teaching in the Age of AI: Nurturing Connections and Empowering Learners"

Harvard Business School
Friday, September 22, 2023

2023 hilt conference logoThis year’s HILT Conference comes at a pivotal time when artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly discussed and experimented with in higher education. AI holds immense potential to enhance personalized learning experiences, automate administrative tasks, and provide data-driven insights to improve educational outcomes. However, its deployment also raises important questions and challenges. It is crucial to address concerns related to privacy, bias, transparency, disinformation, and the impact on human agency and social dynamics within educational settings. Together, we will explore how AI can be designed, implemented, and governed in a way that prioritizes human relationships and connection in education. By considering the ethical and social implications, as well as the affordances, we aim to shape a future where generative AI tools are used to empower learners, support educators, foster inclusivity, and promote a holistic approach to education.

More information can be found on the HILT website.

Missed Connections?: A Study of Academics and Student Employment at Harvard

Tuesday, March 7, 2023: 3:30pm – 4:30pm ET 
Longfellow Hall 2nd floor, Eliot Lyman Room, 13 Appian Way, Cambridge, MA

In this session, hosted by the Research-Informed Teaching & Learning (RITL) Affinity Group, HGSE Assistant Professor Anthony Abraham Jack will discuss findings from a chapter of his new book project, When Campus Closed: Inside the Upended World of Elite College. He examines how Harvard undergraduates with disparate pre-college experiences differ in their orientations toward seeking employment. In particular, Jack focuses on how these differences affect students’ access to “life of the mind” opportunities that involve working with faculty—e.g., as course assistants, research assistants, or employees of teaching and learning centers. These findings have implications for Harvard faculty who serve as gatekeepers to many “life of the mind” positions in universities and for learning-and-teaching professionals who both support faculty members and directly employ students....
