RJTC标准
Faculty/staff members commit to devoting a 重要的 portion of educational content (equivalent to several weeks of the semester, even if that is woven into the 课程 throughout the semester) in their 课程/projects 集中于:
- the lives and experiences of Black folks in North America 和/或 the African diaspora, 和/或
- substantive engagement with one or more of the following issues: racism/racial justice, racialized systems of power, colonization/decolonization, and intersecting oppressions.
This can be accomplished in different ways: introducing new modules or assignments, revising readings, inviting guest lecturers, developing a campus-wide initiative, 等. If you haven't already done so, consider consulting with 唐氏教学博物馆 staff to see how our collections may aid you in these endeavors. 它们令人难以置信 helpful, creative, and resourceful. If you wish to do so, please contact Assistant Director for Curatorial Affairs and Malloy Curator 雷切尔·塞利格曼.
If you find you want some assistance in transitioning your 课程/project to fit these criteria or if you have any questions or concerns about foregrounding racial justice, please contact Winston Grady-Willis 和/或 贝克Krefting via email to schedule a meeting.
该怎么办?
If you are teaching a 课程 or spearheading a project that you know fulfills these criteria, we invite you to include it in 这个文档. Seriously, if you are doing the work, add your information to the list — it only 只需要几秒钟. 我们希望每个人 认为 participating in this challenge, we acknowledge that some folks will be unable to commit to this initiative at this time. Rest assured that this will continue in the coming semesters, so you can think ahead for how you might participate in the RJTC. This might mean setting aside time this semester for personal reading and reflection, or it may mean joining a Mellon-funded learning community that helps provide the language, theory, and praxis necessary to participate in the future.
Here are some ways that participating in the challenge can benefit you, the students, 学院:
- Think of it as a first step in converting a 课程 for possible 黑人研究交叉列表. We are able to offer a stipend of $1,000 to faculty who develop a new 课程 for Black Studies in AY 2022-23 and AY 2023-24.
- Consider piloting some content you intend to develop for a possible Bridge Experience 课程.
- This provides an additional way for faculty to participate in Component III of the 种族正义倡议 focusing on curricular, co-curricular, and educational projects, and can be included in your Annual Summary of Activities report in Digital Measures.
- Participation might contribute to department/program assessment work around DEI matters or make good on commitments made in DEI assessments conducted last spring.
- Pre- and post-assessment data from prior semesters indicated that participating faculty grew more confident in speaking about racial issues over the 课程 of the semester, and students in those 课程 increased their knowledge of racial issues.
- As with the last two years, we will offer awards (to the tune of $500) to students at the end of the academic year to acknowledge exemplary work completed in participating 课程. Please keep track of that work so you can nominate them.
在春天， we ask that you signal your participation in the RJTC by adding your name, 部门/项目/办公室, and 课程/projects that fit the parameters of the challenge to the 共享谷歌文档 不迟于2月11日星期五. 3. If any difficulties arise with this, please email either of us and we will add your 为您提供的信息. We will post the final list soon after that. 我们期待 to continuing the challenge with you, and we offer 巨大的 thanks to all those participating in prior semesters!
