first, on february 12th<\/sup>, from 12:30pm to 2:00pm<\/strong>, at<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>this link<\/a>, we will be honored to have elizabeth self<\/strong> and barbara stengel<\/strong> from the department of teaching and learning, peabody college, discuss insights from their latest publication,<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>toward anti-oppressive teaching: designing and using simulated encounters<\/i><\/span><\/a>. they will share lessons they have learned about how to prepare educators to become more effective and anti-oppressive in diverse classroom settings using simulated encounters. they will discuss the methods they have used as well as the successes and challenges they have confronted helping educators develop greater self-awareness and critical competencies of inclusion. the discussion also will involve insights from participants who will have volunteered to participate in a simulation on zoom.\u00a0 if you are interested in volunteering for this unique opportunity to consult with liz and barbara, and to develop your skills of anti-oppressive teaching, please contact joe\u00a0bandy<\/span>\u00a0<\/span>for further information at\u00a0<\/span>joe.bandy@vanderbilt.edu<\/a>.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

second, on february 19th<\/sup>, from 9:00am to 10:30am<\/strong>, at\u00a0this link<\/a>, we are fortunate to have rich milner<\/strong> from the department of teaching and learning, peabody college, facilitate a discussion entitled, \u201copportunity-centered teaching across disciplines in the \u2018new\u2019 normal.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0centering racial justice and equity in the \u201cnew\u00a0normal,\u201d the discussion is designed to support instructors in building tools to more deeply understand and address complex needs of racially diverse and minoritized students. building on conceptual features of what milner calls opportunity-centered teaching, particular attention will be placed on curriculum and instructional practices that potentially build humanism and emancipatory spaces in university classrooms. recognizing teaching and learning as more than cognitive rigor, the session highlights a range of tools to support social, emotional, psychological, and mental health and wellbeing among students and instructors alike.\u00a0how do we co-construct (with students) classroom spaces that center opportunity for healing in the midst of racism, sexism, xenophobia and other forms of discrimination inside and outside of higher education?<\/span><\/p>\n

lastly, on april 2nd<\/sup>, from 12:30pm to 2:00pm<\/strong>, at\u00a0this link<\/a>, we will focus our attention on what faculty can do to close race (and other) performance and persistence gaps across the disciplines.\u00a0 throughout 2020-21, a group of stem faculty have met to discuss their concerns with disparities that exist between underrepresented and well-represented groups of undergraduate students, particularly disparities of persistence in stem majors. in their discussions they have concentrated on insights from their own experience and from the book,\u00a0talking about leaving revisited<\/a><\/i>, a five-year study that explores the causes of field-switching among stem majors and the factors that enable persistence to graduation. members of this faculty group including william robinson<\/strong> (vice provost for academic advancement and executive director of the provost\u2019s office for inclusive excellence, and vu school of engineering), kathy friedman<\/strong>(biological sciences), adriane seiffert<\/strong>(psychology), and thomas clements<\/strong> (biological sciences) will join the teaching and race learning community to share what they have learned and discuss reforms to teaching practices that may reduce performance and persistence disparities across the disciplines.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
