Events2021-2022 Commons Seminar Series
Taking inspiration from this year’s common read, Emergent Strategy: Shaping Change, Shaping Worlds by adrienne maree brown, the 2021-2022 Commons Seminar series explores the strategies that faculty are developing and discovering to adapt their teaching practice to emerging contexts. These seminars have been integrated into the New Faculty Academy and support Evergreen’s newest faculty in their first year.

Emergent Strategies for Inclusive Seminars
Facilitated by Arita Balaram and Carolyn Prouty
This session will explore strategies to address the challenges and possibilities of conducting seminars related to social justice, including but not limited to racial justice, gender justice, and disability justice. How do we think about how to center those most impacted by structural oppression in these conversations? How do we support students in accessing these conversations from the complex spaces of marginalization and privilege they hold? How can we see education as a “practice of freedom”, as bell hooks calls it, by incorporating social justice principles in our seminars?
For registration details, and upcoming seminar titles and dates, visit the Commons Seminar page on our website.

Change is hard, even in the best circumstances. So how can we avoid making important changes even harder - and maybe even help move them forward - by communicating them effectively? Who should do the telling? With whom should we communicate, and when? How do we tell? What do we include (and why)? Come learn some tips and spend some time unpacking the possibilities for communicating a change project at your own institutions
