Date:

How do you skillfully address race in the classroom, accounting for the multiple identities that students hold? How can you facilitate classroom discussions that center race without perpetuating racial harm? In this practice-based seminar, we’ll read articles from scholars working on the intersections of mindfulness and race and practice different mindfulness techniques. Drawing on scholarship and our own experiences, we’ll learn to craft learning scenarios that process hard moments instead of circumventing challenging discussions. We’ll explore how to emotionally scaffold activities and discussions and how to make mindfulness pedagogy inclusive. Through readings, discussions, and mindfulness practice, you will develop your own pedagogical approach to teaching with race in mind.

This is the first session of a 6-session seminar. Registration required.
