This peer-to-peer teaching talk is an invitation to participate in a community of graduate students whose goal it is to teach from an anti-racist standpoint. Whether you have been engaged with anti-racist pedagogy for several years or are brand new to anti-racist pedagogy, we will all learn from each other’s questions and experiences. We approach this new professional development opportunity with the understanding that a commitment to anti-racist pedagogy is a lifelong one, and that continual learning, listening, and discussion will lead to more equitable classrooms for our students.
- Value why anti-racist pedagogy is important in all fields of study, from the humanities to the social sciences to the STEM fields
- Articulate how institutionalized racism manifests itself in and outside of the classroom to impact our students
- Reframe the misconceptions that some disciplines are apolitical and therefore anti-racist pedagogy does not apply
- Share your successes and challenges
