Teaching Tuesdays Faculty Spotlights
This new series brings to wider prominence the innovative teaching strategies and methods employed by Jackson State University faculty. The teaching acumen of these professors has been recognized by their deans, chairs, students and, sometimes, external actors. For each spotlight, the nominated faculty member gives a brief engaging presentation followed by the lively give-and-take of questions and answers.
All Teaching Tuesdays occur from 10:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

Photographing Democratically When Everyone Is A Photographer
If everyone is a photographer, what makes a “good” photograph? Increasingly, photography serves a fundamental and accessible form of expression in every dimension of life including education. Being able to make a strong, compelling photograph is more important than ever. At the same time, being able to read a photograph and, more broadly, being able to read imagery is integral to critical thinking. As a teacher of photographer, one of Professor Geil's most significant challenges is finding ways to radically change the way students already photograph in their daily lives.
