What are some ideas and examples of anti-racist teaching practices that can be applied in the college classroom? Join us for the launch of a library resource guide and discussion of anti-racist higher education teaching. This project got its start in AY 2019-2020 as a Faculty Learning Community (FLC) that focused on the podcast “Seeing White,” which explores the history and impact of the concept of whiteness in the United States. The FLC applied that content to racism within institutions of higher education and discussed anti-racist teaching approaches across academic disciplines. 

While the pandemic slowed the work, a subset of the original community reconvened in 2023, funded by the Center for Social Science Scholarship, to gather resources and develop the Anti-Racist Teaching Practices Resource Guide. Join the team for the launch of the guide and to discuss ways to advance anti-racist teaching in UMBC’s classrooms.

This program is sponsored by the FDC and supported by a Center for Social Science Scholarship Faculty Working Group.
