Provost's Diversity Institute for Faculty Development

Participants in this session will be invited to consider how care (as principle) and care work (as practice) are enacted in classroom environments and how an investment in care can be further articulated through pedagogical moves rooted in accessibility, adaptability, and mutual accountability. Through engagement with Disability Studies scholarship and the principles of Disability Justice, participants will explore care as resistance while also interrogating the intrinsic relationship between care and labor. Participants will emerge from this session having outlined specific moves that centralize care for students and instructors, emphasizing small sustainable shifts in curriculum development.
