Anti-Racist Pedagogy: An Introduction to Key Concepts and Practices Webinar
Facilitated by Dre Choi
Friday, February 19, 2021; 9:30 – 10:30am, Zoom
A limited number of opportunities for university instructors to gain a better understanding of concepts of race, racism, anti-racism, and anti-racist pedagogies through professional development workshops and training sessions within their respective institutions has been identified as one of the key barriers to effectively implementing anti-racist initiatives in Canadian Universities (Henry and Kobayashi 2017; Dua and Bhanji 2017). In this interactive webinar, we will explore key terms and theories in the practice of anti-racist pedagogies, as well as provide a brief overview of critical concepts underlying anti-racist pedagogical approaches such as race, racism, and anti-racism. With an introduction to ideas and best practices for embedding and supporting anti-racist pedagogies within university classrooms and departments, participants will be encouraged to reflect on the curriculum they teach and brainstorm ways they could integrate anti-racist pedagogies into their own classroom settings.
