Linked ITW-to-ATW Series, Session 1 of 2: Intermediate Antiracist Pedagogy

In this introductory workshop, participants will become familiar with structural racism, antiracism, and how they affect our academic disciplines and teaching practices. We will define structural racism and antiracist pedagogy and compare them with existing equitable and inclusive pedagogy. We will explore how racism manifests in our own disciplines and norms. Participants will begin to confront how this can impact their teaching by drafting and workshopping their own positionality statements. This exploration of our positionality as instructors as it relates to our disciplines and to our students will prepare us to delve into more concrete aspects of course design, syllabi, and assessment/grading practices in the ATW: “Advanced Antiracist Pedagogy'' which will be held in a following week. If you plan to attend the ATW without attending this ITW or if you have any other questions, please email delfina.gonzalez@yale.edu or audrey.holt@yale.edu.

Please note: The first session of this series does not presuppose any previous engagement with the topic, but will draw on topics mentioned in the Fundamentals of Teaching/the CIRTL MOOC. The second session will build upon the content introduced in the first. 

For a refresher on key pedagogical terms you may have encountered in the Fundamentals or the CIRTL MOOC, please refer to our glossary: tinyurl.com/PedagogicalGlossary.
