Teaching Circle: Anti-Racist Writing Workshop: How to Decolonize the Creative Classroom - Chapters 7 & 8

Thursdays, February 9, 23, and March 9, 23, 2:00 – 3:00 pm 

Facilitated by Carole Woodall, PhD, Associate Professor, History and History and Women’s and Ethics Studies & Ann Amicucci, PhD, Associate Professor with Tenure, English 

The Anti-Racist Writing Workshop is a call to create healthy, sustainable, and empowering classroom communities. Award-winning educator Felicia Rose Chavez exposes the invisible politics of power and privilege that have silenced writers of color for far too long. Together, we will address how to: 

• Deconstruct our biases to achieve a cultural shift in perspective. 
• Design a democratic teaching model to create safe spaces for creative concentration. 
• Recruit, nourish, and fortify students of color to best empower them to exercise voice. 
• Embolden our students to self-advocate as responsible citizens in a globalized community.
