TEACHING
CERTIFICATE
While earning my master's degree, I completed a certificate in teaching and learning. Through this program, I created and taught a course for marginalized graduate students navigating the white supremacist culture of academia. Together we explored tools for building community as a means to survive and resist harmful institutions.
In the course, students discussed identity as it relates to graduate life in STEM, learned vocabulary and frameworks for describing their experiences as minoritized students on campus, and built a toolkit for enduring environments that harm and erase non-dominant voices. Topics drew on a variety of social justice movements, scholarship on "DEI" in academia, and students’ own experiences.
I have made the course materials available for others below, as well as a reflective summary of my experiences creating the seminar.
