Decolonizing your Curriculum II: Syllabus Workshop
Description:
In this session, participants will be asked to bring a syllabus they wish to “decolonize” in a workshop setting. They will have the opportunity to revise existing course policies for equity and inclusion, explore methods for diversifying course content, and articulate their goals for generating a classroom community. Because “decolonizing the curriculum” is a process that requires continual revision, we will begin workshopping our ideas with other attendees while also creating an individual action plan for future practice.
Learning Goals:
After successfully completing this workshop you will be able to:
- Evaluate examples of “decolonizing the curriculum”
- Course policies and goals
- Text selection/content
- Assessment
- Discussion
- Practice decolonizing your
own curriculum
