Good morning, colleagues. See below a call for expressions of interest in several literature review groups. I will be facilitating the last one on trust. I do hope some of you will join me. I will most likely be running it virtually as travel budgets do not exist right now at my institution. Although I'd love to meet in Banff. I've also asked if I could break the virtual retreat into smaller pieces. Hope to see some of your applications.

Consider contributing to a collaborative literature review project! This initiative is modeled after the Collaborative Writing Groups of ISSoTL<https://issotl.com/icwg/> and SoTL Canada<https://www.stlhe.ca/scholarship-of-teaching-and-learning-sotl-canada/initiatives/>, and is partially funded by a SoLE grant<https://www.stlhe.ca/grants/sole-grants/> from the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education. The goals are to contribute to teaching and learning literature, support SoTL practice, and build community and capacity. As Chick et al. (2019) wrote, “SoTL needs the meta-level attention of literature reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, research agendas, even historiography, to help us understand and navigate the field and advance the work itself” (p. 187). To this list, we add scoping reviews and realist syntheses. Interested Participants: Those interested in participating in a group should be able to attend the October 17-18 writing retreat, either in person or virtually (see more details below). Please email your expression of interest to jmilleryoung@ualberta.ca<mailto:jmilleryoung@ualberta.ca> by August 15. Please also share this call with your own networks if you think they would be interested!
