Recognizing & Resisting Racism in the Margins √ §
Revisiting Inclusive Writing across the Disciplines
Location
Online
Date & Time
October 5, 2023, 12:00 pm – 1:00 pm
Description
Please join us to discuss the dismantling of linguistic racism in the grading of students’ written work across the disciplines. Registrants are encouraged to familiarize themselves with Syracuse University’s Antiracist Writing Across the Curriculum initiative and approaches to implementing antiracist assessments of students’ writing. Their program was developed in response to the prevalence of implicit racism in instructors’ feedback on students’ writing assignments across the disciplines at institutions across the country. During our session together, we’ll grapple with ideas for taking antiracist action within our courses in alignment with UMBC’s commitment to inclusive excellence. This conversation extends and elaborates on some of the ideas we first discussed in a program in February 2022. All teaching faculty and staff are encouraged to attend.

Launched in February 2017!
Sessions in this series are designed to help you capture UMBC’s strengths in diversity to create vibrant learning environments--environments that effectively challenge and support every student. During interactive sessions, faculty and staff colleagues will help you address challenges and explore key questions, for example,
- How can you learn about your classroom audience to better connect with your students and reflect on their learning needs?
- How can you make your classroom more hospitable for all learners?
- How can you handle sensitive discussions in your classroom?
- How can you ensure that students from different academic and social backgrounds and with different physical and cognitive abilities experience classrooms where they are welcomed, challenged, and supported?
- aspire to make their classrooms more inclusive of our diverse student population.
