Race and Pedagogy Working Group
Race and Pedagogy Working Group website.
The Race and Pedagogy Working Group at the University of Chicago is a community of scholars and teachers interested in exploring the intersection of pedagogy and racial justice across disciplines. Our aim is to foster a community of scholars and teachers committed to addressing race as a subject of both practical and theoretical interest in our classrooms.
To that end, we organize events and assemble resources that encourage the cultivation of new pedagogical tools and approaches for thinking about race across the disciplines. We maintain an archive of notes from our discussions together, which you can find here. To find out about our upcoming events, you’re welcome to join our listserv here. To join without a University of Chicago email address, please follow the additional instructions here.) Visit our website by following the link to the right.
In 2017-2018, the coordinators of the Working Group are Chaz Lee (leew@uchicago.edu), Eilin Perez (erp1@uchicago.edu) and Amanda Shubert (ashubert@uchicago.edu). We welcome your questions as well as any ideas for future programs.
