Undergraduate Pedagogy Fellows

The Bok Undergraduate Pedagogy Fellows (UPF) program was created with the goal of improving access, equity, and inclusivity in learning experiences by facilitating connection between undergraduates, graduate Teaching Fellows, and instructors. UPFs are chosen for their thoughtfulness about classroom power dynamics and what makes an equitable and effective learning experience. They develop and deliver workshops on privilege and student identities in the classroom for instructors, and assist with wider Bok Center programming on equity and inclusivity in the classroom.

Introduction to Undergraduate Student Experiences and Inclusive Teaching Practices
 

This workshop is an introduction to how Harvard undergraduate students identify and their experiences of power dynamics in the classroom. Through lecturettes, activities, and case studies, UPFs ensure that participants leave with insights into Harvard undergraduate perspectives, as well as techniques for engaging complex issues of identity, power, and privilege in the classroom.
