Classroom Teaching Strategies: A Faculty Development Workshop - For Faculty
Presenter: Amer Ahmed, Ed.D
We will discuss the factors that affect classroom climate and what faculty can do to create a climate, set of expectations, or practices to encourage students to engage with these issues and to increase their comfort level in “being uncomfortable.” As we investigate these ideas participants can build their capacity to identify, talk productively and act to address white culture, white privilege, and their consequences in their spheres of influence.

Building Racial Equity By Transforming White Culture: A 21st Century Leadership Capacity - Open to all
Presenter: Amikaeyla Gaston
We will discuss how dominant culture narratives or norms – e.g. what constitutes a “family,” who is considered dangerous, intelligent, acceptable, and whose perspectives are valid – are codified in customs, laws, institutions, policies, and practices. They reinforce stereotypes and limit fair access in terms of who belongs inside and who remains outside circles of human concern.
