With Eleanor Henderson, Shaianne Osterreich, and Raul Palma This follow-up to “Thinking about an anti-racist syllabus” invites participants to exchange drafts of their course policies from fall semester syllabi. Our goal is to consider how to break from a tradition rooted in white authority, which often depends on sticks and carrots to discipline students; implicitly oriented to serving future bosses in predominately white working spaces. Breaking this habit can reframe the student - teacher relationship and allow for more engaged student centered learning in an anti-racist classroom. Please be prepared to share short excerpts from your syllabus relating to course policies (attendance, late work, Zoom engagement, plagiarism, etc.). We’ll spend some time in breakout rooms as well as in full-group conversation. Anyone is welcome to join, though we recommend watching the recording of the first session if you weren’t able to attend. This recording and materials from the previous event can be found on the Summer Institute Sakai site in the Complementary Topics tab. |
