Teaching Chicago - Resources for Instructors

Chicago Studies supports academically rich collaborations between students, faculty and external partners to leverage Chicago as an illuminating locus for study.  In so doing, we distinguish the College as a premiere space for place-based, interdisciplinary urban studies nationwide.

As part of the Office of Teaching and Research Innovations in the College Dean's Office, Chicago Studies serves as a resourcing platform and networking space for course instructors who are interested in teaching about and with the city.  We offer an interdisciplinary cross-listing to help students find Chicago classes, course- and undergraduate research-related grants, pedagogical consulting and support for course-based experiential learning, para-curricular courses and events to promote and complement Chicago-focused classes, and help create opportunities for multidisciplinary collaboration around Chicago themes.
