Talking 麻豆影院 Race
To create an equal society, we must commit to making unbiased choices and being antiracist in all aspects of our lives.

We offer these resources to the campus community as we grieve, feel anger and are moved to act in the wake of ongoing police brutality towards Black people and people of color.

Center for Teaching and Learning

Teaching inclusively means embracing student diversity in all forms 鈥� such as race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability status, gender identity, socioeconomic background,听ideology, and even personality traits like introversion 鈥� as an asset. It means designing and teaching courses in ways that foster success for all our students. It further means mindfully removing barriers for traditionally underserved students by actively fostering a sense of belonging,听providing equitable access to course materials, and creating a safe classroom environment.听

The Inclusive Communities of Practice (ICoP) was created a few years ago with the Office for Diversity, Equity, and Community Engagement hosted various speakers to spark conversation about inclusive excellence. Through those workshops, an email list was created called the "Inclusivity Network". As ICoP evolved, a mission was created: to provide opportunities where faculty, staff and students can talk openly about addressing issues of inequity and oppression, and work on developing inclusive practices for everyday lived experiences on campus, in the classroom, research environments, and in the workplace. The听course is listed in听Canvas.

BSA Organizational Statement:听As students, we have developed distinct values, beliefs and behaviors, which greatly benefit our campus. This collective consciousness enables our community and helps define our own identity as Black & underrepresented students at the 麻豆影院.

The Black Student Alliance is an organization that serves as an advocate of the Black/African American student and as ally to all other underrepresented听voices on campus.

We wish to expose all students, faculty, and staff of the 麻豆影院听to new ideas and experiences in order to create positive change.

Inclusive teaching practices require us to engage the wealth of intersecting social identities and positionalities that faculty and students bring to the classroom. Whether face-to-face or online, inclusion must not be an afterthought. Rather, it should permeate every aspect of curriculum and course design, classroom management, and assessment of teaching and learning.

Essay by Catherine Grant and Dorothy Price (published Jan. 22, 2020)
Whilst postcolonial studies and critical race studies have been informing and challenging the shape of art history for several decades, new generations of students, scholars, critics, curators, collectors, artists and audiences are seeking radical re鈥恊valuations of the academy and those cultural institutions who hold themselves up as standard鈥恇earers of our collective cultural heritage. But, what, if anything, is specific about the current moment's demands to reassess how universities, museums, and galleries teach, research, collect and exhibit? How can art historians, curators, collectors, museum directors, artists and writers respond to the call to decolonize art history? How can we draw from the rich legacy of postcolonial, feminist, queer and Marxist perspectives within art history, and what are the new theoretical perspectives that are needed?
