Location: Wales 203B
Hosted by: Elizabeth Richards
In this engaging 60-minute webinar, we’ll explore how to effectively teach about class within the DEISJ general education framework. We’ll discuss how class identity intersects with key DEISJ topics and how we can go beyond simply acknowledging different class experiences to truly integrating them into our pedagogy. We will touch on ways that class intersects with and often undergirds many DEISJ topics, but is nevertheless frequently left out of specific readings or course learning objectives.
