As the second book in the Empower Teaching Open Access Book Series, Exploring how we teach seeks to create a knowledge-sharing resource that validates and amplifies the experiences and voices of graduate student instructors. The collection encompasses the many titles, responsibilities, and levels of autonomy that graduate student instructors hold. The authors, all graduate students at the time of writing, interrogate issues of identity, community, and vulnerability within the context of college teaching, all while providing the reader with concrete takeaways to apply in the classroom. We hope that this collection can support the professional development of graduate students across disciplines, institutions, and levels of teaching experience.
