Spring 2025 Geeky Pedagogy book cover Book Group Selection


Geeky Pedagogy: A Guide for Intellecutals, Introverts, and Nerds Who Want to Be Effective Teachers by Dr. Jessamyn Neuhaus

Geeky Pedagogy explores how faculty and instructors can use the very qualities that make us successful scholars to enhance our own teaching practice. With an emphasis  on being aware of who our students are and how our own identity shapes how we teach, the book is full of practical advice for how to increase your pedagogical knowledge and become a more reflective teacher.


The CITL Lending Library has several copies available for UWSP faculty and staff members to check out. The e-book and audio book are also available through University Libraries. 


Watch for the Fall 2025 Book Group selection shared soon!
