\"\"<\/p>\n

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

Date:<\/strong> November 1<\/span>
\nTime: <\/strong><\/span>10:00-11:30am<\/span>
\nLocation:<\/strong> <\/span>A Zoom link will be emailed to registrants in advance of the event.<\/p>\n
