The theme for the 2023 Provost’s Diversity Institute for Faculty Development is “Queering the Classroom.” Please check back to this page regularly, as details on events and registration will be updated as information is available.
This event was created to offer University of Pittsburgh faculty the opportunity to increase awareness about diversity and develop skills needed to teach in a diverse, multicultural environment.
This year’s theme for the Provost’s Diversity Institute for Faculty Development is Anti-Racist Curriculum and Praxis.
SPACE IS LIMITED and registration is reserved for full- and part-time Pitt faculty.
- May 10: Classrooms as Catalyst for Racial Justice Centered Activism
The inaugural session for the Provost’s Diversity Institute for Faculty Development will explore how the classroom can be a space that catalyzes student activism for racial justice. #BlackLivesMatter, #DREAMers, #StandWithStandingRock, and #NODAPL among many other social movements have shaped youth activism for racial justice on our campuses. The session showcases insights and reflections from faculty who support critical and creative activism in their teaching of racial justice. - May 11: Abolitionist Pedagogy in Practice
This foundational session will introduce and outline the core philosophy of abolitionist pedagogy to inform a purposeful engagement with an abolitionist framework in the classroom. We envision this session to create a space for faculty to consider and conceptualize a teaching practice rooted in abolition. - May 16: Decentering Whiteness: Intersectional Curriculum Creation
This critical conversation featuring recipients of the Provost’s Award for Diversity in the Curriculum will share curricular lessons, experiences, and insights on the following:- Approaches used to disrupt the hidden curriculum of whiteness.
- Opportunities and tensions encountered in centering racial justice in the curriculum.
- May 17: Public Pedagogy and Hip-Hop: A Teaching Tool for Racial Justice
Engaging with public pedagogical practices asks us to consider how learning can occur outside formal sites of education and beyond traditional educational practices. We seek to explore public pedagogy by centering Dr. Bettina Love and Dr Regina Bradley’s writing Teaching Trayvon: Teaching about Racism through Public Pedagogy, Hip Hop, Black Trauma, and Social Media (must authenticate through Pitt Passport). We will discuss how Hip-Hop music and culture can serve as a culturally sustaining tool to examine language, power, and identity in the classroom. - June 2: Anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the Anti-Racist Curriculum
This session will discuss the urgency of including anti-Semitism and Islamophobia in the teaching of race and racism. Panelists will draw from their own praxis to discuss curricular considerations that help them engage in the teaching of anti-Semitism and Islamophobia. - June 9: Applying Trauma-Aware Pedagogical Practices
Given our present reality of violence and continued racial trauma, drawing on pedagogical strategies that affirm our students’ lived experiences and identities is essential in fostering an equitable classroom. This workshop provides a broad introduction to the application of trauma-aware teaching practices as a step towards validating and supporting students. Grounded in the acknowledgment that racial trauma manifests in the classroom, we seek to consider how faculty can Realize, Recognize, and Resist retraumatization (Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration [SAMHSA]). We encourage participants to familiarized themselves with the foundational principles and concepts presented by Dr. Toya Jones in this recorded workshop.
