Professors Talk Pedagogy presents discussions with great professors about pedagogy, curriculum, and learning in order to propel the ”virtuous cycle” of teaching. As we frankly and critically investigate our teaching, we open new lines of inquiry, we engage in conversation with colleagues, and we attune to students’ experiences—all of which not only improves our teaching but enriches and motivates ongoing investigation. And so the cycle continues!

Today, our guest is Dr. Keith Sanford, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience and Baylor University. Dr. Sanford’s work research falls into three categories. Psychometric (techniques to develop and validate ways of assessing people); the influence of interpersonal relationships on health-related attitudes and behaviors, and discrimination and racial disparities in health. He teaches courses on data analysis and a course he developed titled "History of Psychology, Racism, and the United States." He is an enthusiastic experimenter in his teaching, using flipped learning and recording his own music videos to help students learn key material. Dr. Sanford is also a current Active Learning Lab fellow, selected in a competitive process to teach and reflect on pedagogy in one of Baylor’s premier active learning spaces. We are delighted to have Dr. Sanford on the show to discuss the journey of flipping a course, how music can help people learn, and wading into interdisciplinary teaching.
