Addressing Campus Climate in Your Classroom

Event Date & Time

  • October 11, 2016
    10:00 am - 12:00 pm

Event Description

Classroom Climate is shaped not only by course content and the relationships among members of the classroom community, but also by the broader contexts of place, history, institutional policies and culture, campus climate, and so on. How do we begin to address those contexts in how and what we teach? How do the events, policies, and institutional changes on our university campus affect our learners and the work we do in our classrooms? Join us for a discussion led by Dr. J.P. Catungal, who will also share some of his experiences teaching an advanced undergraduate research seminar for the Institute for Gender, Race, Sexuality, and Social Justice on “the politics of the university” in 2016.

This workshop will cover topics such as:

  • What is campus climate, and how is it related to classroom climate?
  • How do you frame course content in ways to make space for discussions of campus climate?
  • Scholarly resources to scaffold the conversation; and
  • Locating the multiple social positions and roles we occupy within the institution, and how to make space for exploring these in the classroom.
