Equity 101 for Deans: Summer 2023

July 17

Free
NED: Academic Equity

July 17 – August 6, 2023

Short Course

Description

This course is sequentially designed to encourage reflection about the structural conditions that inform who we are and how we relate to others. Module 1 explores our individual position within the historical and systemic structures of privilege and oppression, and how those affect our values and worldview (especially as they relate to education and academic achievement). Module 2 considers the social component by turning our reflection outwards onto the identities of our students and institutions. Lastly, Module 3 encourages us to use our newly acquired self-awareness to examine the effect of inequitable policies and practices in our classrooms and campuses, and to build a professional development plan to continue developing our equity lens.

Course Learning Objectives 

After completing the course, participants will be able to:

  • Differentiate between institutional equity and academic equity.
  • Describe the role of faculty in achieving academic equity through pedagogical interventions.
  • Identify strategies that can facilitate and support the equity work of faculty.
  • Distinguish between contingent-reward leadership and transformational leadership.
