Inclusive Teaching – Responding to -isms in the classroom
This workshop is part of the Spring New Faculty Welcome sessions, but all Ohio State instructors are welcome to attend.
Have you ever been in a class discussion when a student said something biased, but you were not sure how to respond as the instructor? Whether due to high pressure, not being an expert on the identity group being targeted, or simply not knowing what to say in the moment, many of us struggle to address biased comments in the classroom—especially if we are not sure whether the student making the biased comment meant to cause harm.
Following the session, participants will be able to:
apply techniques to communicate effectively in challenging situations,
facilitate educational conversations in response to comments/actions that are racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, etc.,
avoid eliciting a defensive reaction from the student who has (perhaps unintentionally) caused harm through their biased remarks.
Submit your event for consideration to the UITL events list.
