What is antiracist pedagogy in the age of diversity? (Antiracist Teaching & Learning Community Discussion 1)

Kevin Klipfel, Instructional Design and Assessment Librarian, will lead the first in a series of Anti-Racist Teaching & Learning Community Discussions, drawing on the work of bell hooks and others to lead a discussion on the question: What is antiracist pedagogy in the age of “diversity?”

A joint project of the Anti-Racist Pedagogy Collective and the USC Libraries, Anti-Racist Teaching & Learning Community Discussions are aimed at new and seasoned teachers of all kinds who want to make their classrooms not only safe but also just. Each discussion will be led by a member of the organizing group (see below) and be centered around one or more readings, which the discussion leader will summarize. Light lunch will be provided. Just bring an open mind and a desire to incorporate anti-racist pedagogy into whatever kind of teaching you do.

For more information and to RSVP, go to https://tinyurl.com/antiracistpedagogy. Please RSVP no later than September 15.

This project is funded by a USC Libraries Dean’s Challenge Grant. Watch for a panel on these discussions at the Libraries’ Black History Month Symposium in February!
