Instructional Teaching Cases In 2023, Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College (SMWC) received a $49,590 grant from the U.S. Embassy in Greece to launch the Greek and American Gender Equality (GAGE) Program. Partnering with the University of West Attica, SMWC developed instructional case studies addressing gender equality in Greek organizations. The initiative included workshops, study abroad experiences, cross-cultural collaboration, mentorship, and publication opportunities, aiming to improve Greece’s EU gender equality ranking. In 2024, SMWC was awarded a grant from the U.S. Embassy in Paraguay for the Paraguayan and American Gender Equality (PAGE) Program, in collaboration with Universidad Americana. Students from both Paraguay and SMWC participated in a virtual case study workshop. Although the Trump administration later rescinded the grant, the program left a lasting impact, and several case studies were submitted for publication. It is important to differentiate between ‘case study as a teaching methodology and case study as an approach, genre, or method in educational research. When used as a teaching method, case studies leverage their core attributes — such as the richness of real-world data and lived experiences — to provide learners with valuable insights into diverse perspectives and make the learning process more engaging and dynamic. Understanding the difference between a case study as a ‘teaching methodology’ and a case study as an approach or method in educational research is an important distinction as it serves different purposes. When used for teaching, the focus is to engage individuals in real world situations and lived experiences, cultivate curiosity, problem-solving, decision-making, critical thinking and practical application (BU Center for Teaching and Learning, n.d.; Oxford University Press, n.d.). Case studies in educational research, however, are designed to generate knowledge and contribute to generating theory (Oxford University Press, n.d.). More about Posters In 2024, the Arete Editorial Board expanded submissions to include peer-reviewed posters that clearly elaborate on how the contribution impacts globally and are assessed for clarity, rigor, analysis, validity, and of course, Global Leadership. The posters require a 5-7 minute video. Boston University Center for Teaching and Learning. (2025 ). Using case studies to teach.
