Inclusive Higher Ed Teaching in a Time of Social Justice Activism

What should faculty who want to teach inclusively consider with all this context?

Aurora Kamimura, lecturer in education and fellow in the office of the vice provost for faculty and diversity at Washington University in St. Louis 2020 has underscored racial health disparities; highlighted police force against Black people and protests against such violence; and of course there’s an election coming up. What should faculty who want to teach inclusively consider with all this context? In this episode of EdSurge Live, we’ll discuss questions such as: What does it mean for a classroom and a campus (physical or virtual) to be inclusive for students from all kinds of backgrounds and perspectives? Should that be a goal? Are there different considerations depending on the makeup of a class? The background of an instructor? Does online/remote teaching change the importance or strategy of inclusive teaching?

EdSurge Live is hosting a series of live online conversations that address the issues to key higher education leaders during the coronavirus pandemic. We invite you to bring your questions and ideas as well. Access is free and open to anyone who wants to participate.
