Urgent Symposium Update on March 16, 2020: It is with very mixed feelings that we share that that because of COVID-19, travel bans, and NYU restrictions for gatherings, we are going to cancel our onsite symposium in June. We plan to offer the symposium virtually through zoom. As we know more, we will update you as we work through these challenges.

Teaching Group Work Online and in Hybrid Models: We have recently added a section on Teaching Group Work Online. Here you’ll find full syllabi and other resources contributed by IASWG Members.
