Application for the Winter 2024 BMCC/Hunter Faculty Seminar Series: Asian American Students in the City: Considerations for the CUNY Classroom and Beyond (Virtual)

The AANAPISI Bridge Initiative (ABI) at BMCC and Hunter College is hosting an intermediate-level, online seminar series this January 2024 focused on Asian American students’ sense of purpose and belonging, and racial/cultural experiences throughout college.  Here we will be centering Asian American racial, ethnic and immigrant experiences; Asian American mental health and wellness; pedagogical interventions for centering purpose and classroom engagement as informed by Asian American Studies; and, other inclusive teaching practices. Participants will learn, discuss, reflect and apply workshop themes to teaching enhancements for their future courses.

Eligibility: This intermediate-level seminar is open to: 

* Previous participants from our FSS Winter 2021-Summer 2023 cycles OR

* Full-time or part-time/adjunct faculty at BMCC or Hunter who have participated in racial justice professional development cohorts or seminars (Examples may include: CETL’s Anti-Racist Pedagogy Events and Intensive Seminar, ACERT’s Critical Friends Workshop, ACERT’s Racial Equity in the Curriculum Workshop, etc.)

All applicants should demonstrate an interest and previous experience exploring racial justice in the classroom. The application form will include space to describe your previous racial justice professional development experiences, and reflections on how these experiences have shaped your perspective and teaching. You do not have to be assigned to teach in Spring 2024, but you should plan to work on a course and teaching activities that you expect to teach at Hunter or BMCC in the future.

Seminar sessions will consist of presentations, small-group discussion, and space to create classroom enhancements for future courses. Participants who attend the full series will be compensated with a $500 stipend.  All sessions will be held on Zoom.
