DDI: Race Matters: THinking About Racial Issues in the Classroom and Beyond
(Diversity)
As higher education becomes increasingly diverse, educators must consider how to best teach students from a variety of races and ethnicities as well as interact with individuals from a multitude of backgrounds. This workshop addresses how to talk about and manage matters specific to racial issues.
This one-day workshop focuses on addressing racial issues in distinct social arenas: the university's classrooms, administrative offices, and the world beyond campus. It provides faculty and staff with strategies, applicable practices, and classroom activities to help foster an inclusive educational environment where all students, faculty, and staff feel comfortable, while also outlining tools to help think about and discuss race in their personal lives.
The session offers a rare opportunity to have a respectful, open, and candid conversation about race with fellow faculty and staff members in a supportive environment, giving participants the chance to think reflectively about how race impacts and shapes their lives. It provides hands-on activities and case studies as well as tools to help explore why race really does matter.
