Eudaimonia: Fostering the Truman Community
In this session, we will explore the notion of eudaimonia (active human flourishing in a community) in regard to student-faculty interaction. This session will focus on the overall well-being of both students and faculty. Specifically, the academic well-being of the faculty often overlaps with that of students under their auspices. All too often students tend to mimic their professors and do simply the bare minimum. So in this session, we will explore how to foster 'active human flourishing in a community' through constructive interference That is, when the well-being and interests of the faculty overlap with students at the right proportion. And no, there is no 'magic' proportion; we can only examine areas of constructive interference in light of those areas of deconstructive interference. This idea will be examined through student experiences with faculty that have been both constructive and deconstructive. Participant Preparation Expectations: Be willing to come and discuss any student interactions that have been either very challenging or rewarding so that we can dialogue how to build up the Truman Community.
