Three Strategies for Inclusion | Digital Learning & Innovation

Spring 2021 Speaker Series: Remote and hybrid classrooms have highlighted the kind of class inequities that have always existed but have been easy to ignore in higher education. This Lightning Talk session, offered in collaboration with BU Diversity & Inclusion and its Learn More series’ theme of social class, focuses on areas of practice and content that help us understand the myriad ways that class plays out in our classrooms, with strategies to create more inclusive classes.

In this presentation, Professor Gowayed addresses three strategies she deploys in her classroom in the context of the intersecting inequalities of class and race. She will outline ways to 1) encourage student access to office hours, 2) facilitate access to the class’ physical and virtual space, and 3) create avenues for student voices.
