LIGHTNING
TALKS
The Lightning Talks speaker series is a reflection and learning forum where Boston University faculty and invited guests identify areas of challenge and opportunity and share strategies for engaging educational experiences in the in-person environment. The speaker series, co-hosted by Digital Learning & Innovation and The Center for Teaching & Learning, is open to BU faculty, staff, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars.

Attendance average: ~100 participants.
Highest attendance: Anti-Racist Pedagogy, March 5h: ~500 participants.
