  January 2021 Focus on Teaching and Learning (FOTL) Conference

  Theme: Developing Pedagogy that Fosters Anti-Racism
  
  Registration is now open and can be accessed at the link below.
  
  What are some examples of pedagogies that foster anti-racism? How can LUC educators view their courses through an anti-racist lens? How can we develop teaching and learning practices that foster anti-racism? This spring’s Focus on Teaching and Learning Conference will address questions like these. Faculty will share examples of strategies and approaches they use to design learning experiences in ways that support anti-racist pedagogy. Sessions will be led by small groups of speakers. Staff from the Provost’s Office will share the latest on anti-racist initiatives that support anti-racist pedagogy.
  
  FOTL will take place over Zoom on January 14, 2021 from 9AM-1PM REGISTER
