AAC&U Webinar: Challenging the Normalization of Hate

Join us in person as we connect online to this webinar from AAC&U:

How can Truth, Racial Healing & Transformation (TRHT) inform strategies to address the increasing normalization of hate within our communities? Given the power of the internet and social media for spreading white supremacist thought, Jessie Daniels, the author of Cyber Racism, will share strategies for countering the spread of racist ideology.

Panelists from three TRHT Campus Centers—Jermaine Pearson (Brown University), Charmaine DM Royal (Duke University), and J. Goosby Smith (The Citadel, the Military College of South Carolina)—will also discuss how the TRHT Framework can bring about radical change, through storytelling, active listening, and community-engaged work.

Terrelle Sales is the Institute for Faculty Development host for this event.

Faculty-Led Event

Faculty Research Liner Notes

We don’t always have the time to hear the full story of each others’ scholarship. Join us for these gatherings for the “liner notes” version.

Two colleagues will share a ten-minute overview of their research. Then, we will spend time asking questions and discussing the ways we might take inspiration from their work into our own scholarship, research, or teaching.

01/27/20 presenters: Alex Lin and Kristen Lashua
03/02/20/20 presenters: Mary Wickman and Karen Nishie

The Institute for Faculty Development will provide lunch for those who join us, until such time as our budget runs out – or the final session is held.

Book Club

Book Club: Moving Up Without Losing Your Way

James Lang wrote a column for The Chronicle in late 2019 entitled: Do You Truly Grasp Why That Student Keeps Missing Class? After reading Lang’s article, many of us were inspired to read the book he recommended: Moving Up without Losing Your Way: The Ethical Costs of Upward Mobility, by Jennifer Morton.

Our Spring 2020 book discussion group on Moving Up will be led by Dr. Sylvia Kane.

The first ten faculty who register for the book club will receive a copy of the book. These books are made possible by our Title V Grant – Award #P031S150199.
