Creating an Anti-Racist Classroom

Presenter(s):
Facilitated by Fleurette King
Description:
Faculty/instructors can contribute to an anti-racist campus for BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, & People of Color), multiracial/biracial, and white students. It requires understanding the barriers and strategies for incorporating anti-racist pedagogy. Students should complete CSU courses with critical skills to recognize and eradicate systemic racism in their academic field. This could enhance the sense of belonging and/or responsibility on an anti-racist campus. Faculty/instructors will gain an understanding of how both racism and antiracism impacts teaching and classroom engagement. Prior to the workshop, participants are required to review the CSU Student Lists of Demands from 2010-2020: https://racebiasandequityinitiative.colostate.edu/student-demands/
