Brewer served as associate editor of a recently published e-book titled “Teaching Tips: A Compendium of Conference Presentations on Teaching, 2017-18.”

Conferences on the scholarship of teaching and learning in psychology are held annually. During each conference, a wealth of information is shared, then often forgotten at the conference's conclusion. To preserve the material, the Society for the Teaching of Psychology created an e-book to organize the presentations by topical categories.

As the director of programming for the STP conference, Brewer organized and directed an annual SOTL conference and the presentations that are included in the book.

When the School of Theatre faculty members chose William Shakespeare’s male character-dominated play “Titus Andronicus” for this year’s Mainstage Series, it was in response to the all-female show, “The Wolves,” that had filled the first Mainstage run for the fall semester.

Although “Titus Andronicus” has been described as one of Shakespeare’s bloodiest plays, Cleo House Jr., director of the School of Theatre and this play’s director, sees it as one of The Bard’s “most fun plays,” he said, adding that he believes it “encapsulates all the things we love about the theatre.”

“Titus Andronicus” will be presented at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 12 through 16 in Turner Auditorium. A matinee for high school students is scheduled for 10 a.m. Nov. 14.
