AMICAL 2020 will be held 15–18 January at the American University of Kuwait, marking the consortium’s 17th annual meeting and conference.
The conference is open to all interested staff and faculty from AMICAL member institutions, as well as selected individuals invited by the organizers.
Program
Each year the AMICAL Conference brings consortium members together to critically grapple with issues relevant to international liberal arts institutions. This year’s program focuses on the impact of digital transformation at our institutions. What does innovation in teaching and learning look like? How we can work together to support such innovation and to make sure that our work is sustainable?
With dynamic presentations, discussions and workshops, the program combines invited keynotes with peer speakers to create an event filled with expertise, local relevance, innovation and inspiration.
The program overview, a schedule of sessions and the speaker list are now available.
