The Anti-Racist Pedagogy Project aims to increase awareness and implementation of anti-racist pedagogical practice at BMCC by offering faculty opportunities to explore race, racism, racial identity, anti-racism, and anti-racist pedagogy. In Spring 2022, our faculty fellows will lead a series of workshops on topics including racial identity, the legacy of bell hooks, critical race theory, and microaggresssions. Fellows are also available for one-on-one or group coaching and departmental visits.
During the week of June 13-17 2022, we will offer an intensive workshop in which participants learn anti-racist teaching strategies and redesign their course curriculum and syllabi to include anti-racist pedagogy. Applications for this workshop will open in March 2022.

The impact of bell hooks: Black feminism, engaged pedagogy, & intersectionality |

CRT and CRT: Critical Race Theory and Culturally Relevant Teaching |
As we work to strengthen our individual and collective capacity for anti-racist pedagogy, we must consider the long shadow that educational histories cast on our work today. We will explore these histories and discuss how CRT and CRT offer a guide as we move into the future. Register here. |
| Monday, 5/9, 2-3:30pm | Microaggressions impact our capacity to build supportive learning communities. In this session we will explore strategies for identifying and responding to microaggressions, drawing from real-life scenarios in our work at BMCC. Register here. |
