"Anti-Racist Pedagogy: Practical Implementation"
12 pm, Monday, March 22 | ZOOM
Hosted and facilitated by Bianca Nightengale-Lee, Ph.D., Assistant Professor of Curriculum, Culture, and Educational Inquiry at FAU.
In partnership with the University of Connecticut's Human Rights Institute (HRI) and the University and College Consortium on Human Rights Education (UCCHRE), PJHR presents virtual workshops on decolonial and anti-racist pedagogy. The purpose of these workshops is to introduce faculty, staff, graduate students, and other interested attendees to the theory, historical context, and necessity for decolonial and anti-racist teaching, as well as to offer practical tips for how to implement these approaches in the classroom. All workshops will take place via Zoom, are free for all attendees, and are open to members of the FAU, UConn, and UCCHRE communities. Workshop will be facilitated by one or more faculty and staff from FAU, UConn, and UCCHRE.
Dr. Bianca Nightengale-Lee currently serves as an Assistant Professor in the department of Curriculum Culture & Educational Inquiry at Florida Atlantic University. As a critically engaged community scholar, her work centers on academic, school, and community-based settings. Her research explores critical pedagogy as it relates to socially conscious, humanizing, and inclusive educational practice. Dr. Nightengale-Lee's scholarship interrogates, resists, and re-frames traditionalized notions of curriculum development to produce equitable learning conditions for culturally and linguistically diverse students. Through her teaching she is committed to preparing the next generation of educators to meet the demands of 21st century learning contexts, which reflect the racially, socially, and politically charged structures that shape education, and the practical pathways that lead to more humanizing modes of pedagogy.
