Session 3: Embedding Antiracism in the Classroom (Friday 2/19/21, 3-4:30PM EST)
Students have made it clear that it’s crucial to address race in the classroom. How can instructors embed antiracism and racial equity into the content, curriculum, and classroom practices of academic courses in meaningful ways? In this session, we will explore the tools and structures needed to engage in antiracism and racial equity, and address anti-Blackness in academic experiences at Barnard. We will hear from instructors across various departments and academic fields who will discuss how they have implemented racially inclusive practices in their respective courses, and confronted racism in their classrooms and fields. Our time together will culminate in small group discussions about how instructors can address antiracism, racial equity, and anti-Blackness in a meaningful way in Barnard classes. There will also be an opportunity for participants to share their experiences, feedback, and suggestions. Panelists: Yvette Christiansë, Alex Pittman, Logan Brenner, Amy Zhou, Alexandra Watson
