Anti-Oppressive Teaching Mentorship
Cultivating an anti-oppressive teaching pedagogy requires a commitment to ongoing critical reflection and the capacity to deconstruct assumptions about the world. Instructors, staff, and PhD students will have the opportunity to meet individually with the associate dean of equity & inclusion to reflect on anti-oppressive frameworks, classroom dynamics, and course content.
Please email Prof. Dawn Belkin Martinez, associate dean for equity and inclusion, at dawnbm@bu.edu to schedule a mentoring session.
