Agenda

PURPOSE

Classrooms are not hermetically sealed spaces that are disconnected from the outside world. To the contrary, they are reflections of existing injustices, power relationships, diversities and differences in privilege which can influence our students’ learning process. Therefore, in this webinar we will explore classrooms as radical spaces of change; as environments that have the potential to scrutinize top-down processes of learning and locations which foster social justice. In doing so, we will also interrogate our very own role as educators acknowledging that we exist in relation with others, that we are embedded in environments that represent hegemonic concepts of societal and cultural ways of knowing and learning and that we do not enter the classroom as disembodied beings. Join us as we embark on this very personal and critical journey to explore the classroom as a transformative space towards social justice. There will also be time for Q&A.

Thanks to attending this webinar you will:

Gain insights into how differences in privilege and intersectional inequalities can influence the learning process.
Receive practical information ranging from content approaches to classroom strategies that can foster inclusion and belonging in the classroom.
Reflect on yourself as an educator, i.e. on how your positionality influences what and how you teach
Highlight the classroom as a transformative space towards social justice

Note: This session is for live audiences only and the event will not be recorded.
