Searle is not currently offering this series. Instructors may be interested in participating in the Universal Design for Learning Practicum instead.
The series is a set of 3 one-hour sessions that will bring together a 3-session faculty cohort to discuss topics related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in teaching and learning in remote learning environments. During these roundtable discussions, participants will engage in dialogue with fellow attendees on selected readings as well as share their personal thoughts, questions, insights, and experiences with engaging in DEI work in higher education. The Seat at the Table series aims to create awareness about the importance of fostering inclusive classrooms and learning environments and to provide a space in which individuals can work together to further their understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Learning Objectives:
- Enhance knowledge of key DEI concepts that promote inclusive classroom settings through empirical readings, self-reflection, and peer dialogue
- Examine challenges in incorporating DEI concepts in the context of a learning environment
- Apply DEI concepts and related issues to current events in higher education
- Increase self-efficacy in intervening or serving as an ally when the expectations of an inclusive learning environment are challenged
