Learning Community: Becoming an Antiracist Educator

Tuesday, March 2 
1:30 PM

How can we as educators work toward individually and collectively becoming antiracist? How can examining our own racial identities and educational practices lead us to meaningfully take steps toward an antiracist agenda in our respective learning environments? In this learning community, offered in collaboration with the Center for Intercultural Engagement, we will explore an array of antiracist readings, videos, and podcasts, including excerpts from Kendi’s How to Be an Antiracist (2019) and Singh’s Racial Healing Handbook (2019). By registering, you are committing to participate in all three sessions and complete approximately two hours of pre-work before our sessions on March 2, March 16, and March 30.

Hosted by Northeastern University's Center for Advancing Teaching and Learning Through Research, in collaboration with the Center for Intercultural Engagement

This session is only open to Northeastern University educators. Please use your Northeastern email when registering.
