Decolonizing the Course

Shape September 16, 2020

We’re starting the academic year with a critical discussion that so many educators are struggling with right now. How can we use OER to advance inclusion, address systemic racism, and give a voice to the life experiences of underrepresented people? 

Join us for this webinar to find out about emerging practices for transforming your instructional materials and practices featuring a librarian, an instructional coach, and a faculty member. Topics range from sourcing images to reflect your students’ culture and identity, reforming your syllabus towards inclusion, and converting your classes to include viewpoints that reflect varied cultural and gendered identities.
