Once again, Nancy Ares from the Warner School is offering two seminars on anti-racist curriculum development in the Fall 2023 semester. The schedules, along with course descriptions, are below. Warner is again very generously covering tuition expenses beyond what employees’ benefit plans cover, so there is no cost to any employee who enrolls in the course. Please contact Prof. Ares directly at nares@Warner.Rochester.edu if you have any questions.

Saturdays, 10:00-1:30
Online, synchronous

Description: This course will help participants develop knowledge and skills to create anti-racist curriculum through the revision of an existing course syllabus. During this workshop-style course, participants will use a rubric to evaluate elements of their own course syllabus, then score those elements and reflect with others and in writing about what they learn and will do in revising their curriculum as a result.

Description: This follow-up course is open to those who took the first course in the series of seminars on anti-racist curriculum development in higher education. We will use a curriculum review rubric to revisit and further revise the syllabus used in the first seminar or revise another course syllabus. Hands-on work will be supported by building on the experiences of implementing an anti-racist syllabus, selected short readings and other resources, and continued exploration of anti-racist curriculum and teaching in higher education.
