My New Book Is Out! 

My new book The SoTL Guide, written with Peter Felten and Katarina Mårtensson, was published last week.  We started working on it before the pandemic, so you can fill in the details of how our writing slowed down. Fast forward to October 2025, and we're thrilled to see it in print!  

We wanted this book to be easily accessible to colleagues around the world* -- even in under-resourced contexts -- so we published it as part of an open access book series. For those who like a hard copy, though, it'll also be available in print for $35.

The SoTL Guide is a proverbial labor of love.  As we explained in our introduction, 

We wrote this book because we have a vision for SoTL to be an even more positive force in higher education—for those of us who teach and work in academia, for our students, and for our communities. Our definition of SoTL may be simple, but our vision for SoTL is ambitious. We see SoTL as more than one thing: it’s a practice that improves teaching and learning in context. It’s also a field that extends how we in higher education build knowledge. It’s a community that offers rich relationships for those who seek them. And it’s a form of scholarship with socially conscious and humane roots that call on us to make a difference in the education of students, in the careers of academics, and in the world.
