This roundtable will discuss issues related to how we are teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic. We will consider how we, in our capacity as law teachers, are adapting our teaching as the world around us changes. Roundtable participants will discuss: (1) the results of a May 2020 national survey of law professors on their experiences teaching during the pandemic; (2) how the move to remote teaching upended the traditional Socratic method, arguing the time is right for innovations in teaching and delivery of legal education; (3) the consequences of social isolation for women faculty; (4) how to adapt feminist legal methods to fit online teaching; (5) the opportunities and challenges of remote skills-based coursework for women and students of color. The discussions and subsequent conversation will provide interested professors with the opportunity to share struggles and strategies and brainstorm innovative solutions.
