POD Conference 2021

Encountering racism, implicit bias and microaggressions in the classroom presents an opportunity for learning; however, it is challenging to address these comments in the moment. This Workshop-in-a-Box session creates a space for dialog and sharing strategies that attend to participants' different contexts and identities. We begin with guiding principles for addressing racism in the classroom, and then move into small breakout room discussions based on case studies.

We have successfully presented this synchronous virtual workshop in several venues and believe it will positively impact instructors seeking to build confidence in confronting racism.
