Many college faculty and staff have been engaged in making their institutions more accessible, inclusive, and equitable through the adoption of OER and open educational practices. One year ago, the need for this work became even more apparent as educators began to recognize that the structural racism deeply embedded in our society was in fact very evident in higher education as well. We invite you to hear from three college professors and the program staff who supported them in moving from the desire to make their classrooms more equitable and antiracist to taking concrete actions to do so.
- Environmental Science Professor Jalal Ghaemghami and Librarian Ted (Totsaporn) Intarabumrung will share their open education work at Roxbury College.
- Librarian Jen Klaudinyi, creator of the Oregon Equity and Open Education program, and Biology Professor Michelle Huss will share details of the cohort program and how a Biology course was transformed.
- Joy Shoemate, Open for Antiracism Course Facilitator (OFAR) and Business Professor Debra Crumpton will share information about the OFAR program and the transformation of the Introduction to Business Class.
