Anti-Racist Pedagogy Resources
Given recent tragic anti-Black events and protests against racism, faculty members around the country are talking about how to understand and use anti-racist pedagogies in upcoming courses. Being anti-racist moves beyond decrying racism and into advocacy and direct support for changing implicit biases, calling out structural racism, and interrogating our own individual complicity in racism against Black people in America.
A variety of resource complications on anti-racist readings and pedagogies are circulating across higher ed publications and social media. Here are several of the most comprehensive and well organized for your consideration:
