The World of Higher Education

This episode, hosted by Alex Usher, features a discussion with Mary C. Wright from Brown University about Centers for Teaching and Learning (CTLs) in higher education. Wright, the author of a recent book on CTLs, shares insights from her research on the evolving aims and strategies of these centers across U.S. campuses. The conversation explores CTLs as change agents, advocating for inclusive learning environments despite structural challenges. Wright introduces the HITS framework, categorizing CTLs based on their change strategies—Hubs, Incubators, Temples, and Sieves—and discusses their role in policy implementation and leadership.
