How can faculty foster a community of creativity, inclusiveness and resilience? To envision belonging, we need to recognize barriers in the ecosystem of our classrooms and curriculum. How do we remove the boundaries to what might be experienced by some students as exclusive domains or spaces, and foster learning as an engaged and unbounded process? As scientists, what does it mean to make the implicit rules of our praxis visible? By revisiting our own insights, instincts and experiences, we have an opportunity to braid them into reimagined opportunities.

About Catalyst Conversations
91亚色传媒 Catalyst Conversations are informal events at which educators share their still-in-development teaching practices and classroom activities. Presenters of short “chalk talks” get immediate feedback. Not ready to share? Then come for the keynote talk on cultivating inclusive learning environments, support colleagues presenting their work, and engage in conversations during thematic networking sessions.
