Blue Stool Talks

Description

The Blue Stool Project is a series of flash lectures given on the Champlain College campus, appearing in the central courtyard with a goal of addressing topics that might not normally come up in the classroom. This engaging, open conversation style of teaching/learning was conceived by Bob Selby and further refined during monthly occurrences.

Blue Stool talks are opportunities for Champlain College faculty and staff to share their passion for learning and ideas with students (and others) outside of the classroom. Students are encouraged to attend. The talks are meant to provoke thought, deepen understanding, and encourage listeners to reconsider ways of knowing. The topics may or may not be controversial in subject matter, but all aim to provide opportunities for listeners to learn.
