3/5: Anti-Racist Pedagogy Lightning Talk with Prof. Belkin Martinez
Boston University School of Social Work (BUSSW) professor Dawn Belkin Martinez joins five other BU experts for the virtual Lightning Talk event, “Anti-Racist Pedagogy.”
A clinical associate professor and associate dean for equity and inclusion at BUSSW, Belkin Martinez is a social worker, educator, and author of the book “Social Justice in Clinical Practice: A Liberation Health Framework for Social Work.” She has more than 30 years’ experience in family therapy, substance misuse, trauma, liberation health practice with immigrant communities, and popular education.
EVENT DESCRIPTION:
A commitment to contributing to positive change in the national conversation about race is a clear goal for BU. The Day of Collective Engagement in June 2020, the appointment of Professor Ibram X. Kendi, and the opening of the Center for Anti-Racist Research are all part of getting that conversation started within the University.
What does this commitment look like in our classrooms? Join us to hear how instructors build an anti-racist curriculum within their classes.
“Anti-Racist Pedagogy” is part of the Remote & Hybrid Teaching & Learning Speaker Series sponsored by Digital Learning & Innovation & The Center for Teaching & Learning.
