September 13 Futures Initiatives: “Classrooms and Social Justice: Why Start with Pedagogy?”

Please join the Futures Initiative on Sep 13 at 12pm in the Segal Theatre for “Classrooms and Social Justice: Why Start with Pedagogy?” This is an open, livestreamed workshop led by Cathy N. Davidson, Racquel Gates, Siqi Tu, and Christina Katopodis. The workshop will be livestreamed at http://bit.ly/FuturesED-live[bit.ly].

 

This panel[futuresinitiative.org] looks at the relationship between classroom participation and democracy, focusing on active, engaged learning methods that you can use in your classroom today. Panelists will offer student-centered activities that have been successful in their own classrooms, and participants will have the opportunity to try out some activities themselves.

 

This event is part of the The University Worth Fighting For[futuresinitiative.org], a series of workshops that tie student-centered, engaged pedagogical practices to institutional change, race, equality, gender, and social justice.
