the exhortation to \u201cdecolonize\u201d our syllabi and our teaching more generally has become increasingly common across higher education in recent years. for its many advocates, decolonization can include a wide variety of practices, such as the acknowledgement of indigenous land claims, understanding how the culture of colonialism has shaped our disciplines, diversifying the canons of our fields, anti-racist and culturally responsive teaching, inclusive course design, and a decentering of pedagogical authority, just to name a few.<\/span><\/p>\n with a panel of faculty that includes akshya saxena<\/strong> (english), adeana mcnicholl<\/strong> (religious studies), lily claiborne<\/strong> (earth & environmental science), and others, we will explore what it means to decolonize our teaching in theory and practice.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
