Exploring Student-Faculty Partnerships as Anti-Racist Pedagogy
2021-03-12 14:00 - 16:00 | Virtual
The tragic COVID-19 pandemic revealed long-standing inequities in America that have been disguised by post-racial ideology; it shattered the perception of higher as the great equalizer, and it exposed systemic injustices operating as the status quo. As we envision the times beyond the recent climaxes of these dire crises, what is our responsibility within higher education for resisting intersecting forms of oppression? How do we understand and enact anti-racist pedagogy to create authentically inclusive educational spaces? Join Dr. Chanelle Wilson, Bryn Mawr College, and Mercedes Davis, Haverford College ’20, as they facilitate an interactive workshop about student-faculty partnerships and co-teaching as a form of anti-racist pedagogy. The workshop will include theoretical grounding and practical strategies for entering into and expanding classroom partnership, along with the opportunity for interactive engagement with these concepts.
Speaker Biographies:

She enjoys facilitating knowledge in a way that encourages personal connections, promotes critical thinking, highlights contemporary relevance, and necessitates justice.

Making the Market: Joel Bonasera
2021-03-24 18:30 - 20:00 | Online
“After spending over a decade in science and technology education, I’ve turned my focus on using digital fabrication to make things. What started as a bit of an obsession stoked by science fiction and science facts accidentally became a full time dream job. I blame Cory Doctorow (a little). Additive manufacturing and CAD are are my methods of choice. Often the goal is a 3D printed object. Sometimes, 3D printing is a means to an end. Push for the Democratization of Fabrication, Agency for Everyone, and the recognition that The World is Malleable.”
Join us on March 24th from 6:30PM to 8ish. Meet Joel and learn about how to start a small scale business rooted in 3D printing. You’ll also learn about the tools you have access to on your own campus. Sign up here!
