Antiracist Teaching and Learning Community Discussions

Anti-Racist Teaching & Learning Community Discussions
A joint project of the Anti-Racist Pedagogy Collective and the USC Libraries, these discussions are aimed at new and seasoned teachers of all kinds who want to make their classrooms not only safe but also just. Each discussion will be led by a member of the organizing group (see below) and be centered around one or more readings, which the discussion leader will summarize. Light lunch will be provided. Just bring an open mind and a desire to incorporate anti-racist pedagogy into whatever kind of teaching you do.

For updates and to RSVP, go to https://tinyurl.com/antiracistpedagogy. Please RSVP no more than three days ahead of each discussion. 

Fall 2018 discussions: 
What is antiracist pedagogy in the age of “diversity?”: Tuesday 9/18 @ 12:00 in Doheny Memorial Library 233 (Intellectual Commons) led by Kevin Klipfel
What is authentic allyship and does it really exist? : Wednesday 10/10 @ 12:00 in Herklotz Room, Music Library - led by Alyssa Brissett
How can teachers encourage and value diverse knowledges?:  Thursday 11/15 @ 12:00 in Herklotz Room, Music Library - led by Lacey Schauwecker

This project is funded by a USC Libraries Dean’s Challenge Grant. Watch for a panel on these discussions at the Libraries’ Black History Month Symposium in February!
