Abstract

The normalization of distance-learning and models of hybrid education has fundamentally changed access opportunities for students in small liberal arts universities. While invited speakers will always supplement the instructor of record, the inclusion of content experts in curricula can supplement instructors' lesson plans like never before. Indeed, the crisis that post-secondary education is currently facing because of the pandemic may in fact shift educators' focus to including more area experts and disciplinary experts to their classrooms. The results of this awakening to teleconferencing as a normal part of a curriculum especially serves geographically remote small liberal arts universities, but it also serves to connect a world divided by a pandemic and increasingly xenophobic travel policies.
