“The opposite of racist isn’t ‘not racist.’ It is ‘anti-racist.’ ... One either allows racial inequities to persevere, as a racist, or confronts racial inequities, as an anti-racist. There is no in-between safe space of ‘not racist’.”
— Ibram X. Kendi

To have an equitable teaching environment for all students, instructors must commit to being anti-racist educators and actively combat power and privilege (e.g., racism, sexism, classism, etc.) in their classrooms. This workshop series encourages JHU teaching assistants and instructors to examine their intersectional identities, biases, assumptions, values, and expectations of students and center students of color and other marginalized groups in course design, pedagogy, and course content. Participants will develop concrete strategies on how to develop an inclusive teaching environment and how to function as an accomplice in both subject matter and teaching methods.
Participants will also have the opportunity to develop and receive feedback on their personal Diversity Statement - a document that is now commonly requested as part of the job application.
All sessions are held on Zoom and can be accessed through this link:
