Get It Done! Drop-In Workshop for Social Justice and Fall 2021 Course Prep
Join us for a working meeting to build your fall 2021 syllabi to ensure social justice topics are infused into your fall 2021 teaching plans. During this workshop, you can join three different breakout rooms to help you get started or keep going with social justice in your teaching. Do you have a plan and just need to make time to execute it? Room 1 is a Quiet Room for working on your syllabus, but camera ON for accountability. Do you want to incorporate social justice into your course, but have no idea where to begin? Join the group in Room 2 for ideas to get started. Do you want to expand your fall courses with a “go big or go home” idea like Ungrading? Join the discussion in Room 3 for support thinking through these ideas for your classroom.

- Room 2: Getting Started – Dr. Rachel Emas, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey-Newark

Reflecting and Repairing: Intentionally Moving forward from the 2020/2021 Academic Year
Since early 2020, our global community has been in the throes of a dire pandemic, resurgent attention to racial justice, widespread misinformation campaigns, tenuous economies, rising mental health concerns, and elections of grave importance. How have we survived the last year? We invite you to join us for a reflective conversation on the last academic year to unpack your experience in a community setting while intentionally setting goals for how to move forward. This conversation will include a panel discussion to reflect broadly on mindfulness as well as how can we repair ourselves, our classrooms, and our communities moving forward. Following the panel, we will host breakout rooms to support individual mindfulness activities and create space for you to set goals for the next academic year.
