WORKSHOP: Accessible Teaching in Remote Environments

As Chandra Mohanty suggests in “Under Western Eyes Revisited: Feminist Solidarity Through Anti-Capitalist Struggle” (2003), how one teaches is just as important as what one teaches when it comes to practicing anti-racist, anti-colonial, and intersectional feminist pedagogies (517). At a moment when many post-secondary instructors are developing remote or hybrid courses for the first time, the question of how we teach is an especially urgent one. This interactive workshop is a starting point for developing strategies for creating accessible, inclusive, and active remote classrooms that can be used across disciplines.

This workshop was facilitated by Johanna Amos and Jen Kennedy in two sessions on Friday, August 7, 2020 12:00-1:30pm EST/ 9:00-10:30 PST and Monday, August 10, 2020 12:00-1:30pm EST/ 9:00-10:30 PST
