What does it mean to be a white woman teaching about diversity and social justice?
How has my content and pedagogy about DEI changed over the last 20 years?
Are the "classic" readings I use with undergrads too dated?
Is there such a thing as "classics" in the literature -- things that aren't ever too dated?
Are my DEI lessons designed for white people but I don't realize it because I am white?
I believe that white people and people of color may need different content and pedagogy when it comes to DEI. How can I figure out the differences that are necessary?
Is it about content?
Is it about pedagogy?
What about my content and pedagogy makes them so accessible to white people?
If the content and pedagogy are accessible to white people, does that necessarily mean that the same things are alienating to my students of color?
How can i shift my content and pedagogy around DEI to meet the needs of my more racially diverse students?
Does my teaching in DEI reflect what i believe about teaching and learning?
Does my teaching in DEI reflect what i believe about race, gender, and power?
Why do words like curiosity and humility resonate with me so much?
What makes Ted Lasso the perfect manifestation of my values?
Why do I ask so many yes or no questions when i know better?
What if...
- What if I started to write memos after my YDEV 150 class to document the changed I am noticing in pedagogy and practice when I teach about identity and diversity to a group that is mostly students of color?
- What if I asked the students to be co-researchers with me?
- What if I wrote an article with my teaching assistant about this?
- What if I were less attached to my old ways?
- What if I listened to more podcasts and Ted Talks about DEI pedagogy by people of color? Or by white people asking the same questions as me?
