Authentic transformation in the higher education classroom

September 21, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm

Free

An initiative sponsored by the Society for the Advancement in Biology Education Research (SABER) focused on promoting awareness, understanding and commitment to change academic biology environments to be more inclusive and strive for racial justice in STEM education.

This 7-part series includes four discussions and three research seminars with the intended audience of biologists and biology education researchers. All talks will be posted on the SABER DEI website afterwards. 

All 1-hour sessions will be virtual and administered through Zoom; sessions will be recorded and posted on the SABER website for viewing afterwards. We are excited that speakers will be compensated for their time and this event is co-sponsored by Arizona State University’s HHMI Inclusive Excellence Project, SEISMIC Collaboration, and University of California Santa Barbara.

Lessons from a hot spring: Authentic transformation in the higher education classroom (discussion)

This talk is the third in the series of 7 talks. Previous talks include: Race REALLY matters. Actionable steps toward equity in STEM. Future talks: Language matters: Considering racial microaggressions in science. But is it really “just” science? Engaging critical race theory to unpack racial oppression with implications for Black student science engagement. Black women and belongingness: An interrogation of STEM education as a white, patriarchal space. An exploratory investigation of the experiences of Black immigrant women in undergraduate STEM. All talks and presentation slides will be posted on the SABER DEI website by 9/23/2020.

Moments of national reckoning are impactful only so much as our willingness to interpret and act on their lessons. In this discussion, we will revisit the moments of spring 2020 through the lens of racial justice and reimagine our responsibilities as educators shaping students for critical consciousness of their current and future world.
