Description

As BMCC has worked in recent years to develop a strategic plan that designs for success, and because that plan includes a priority to “demonstrate leadership and a commitment to increase equity, foster inclusion, and dismantle systematic racism,,” a group of BMCC students, staff, and faculty from the BMCC Learning Academy (BLA) participated in a series of Fall 2020 workshops to interrogate the extent to which participant students have experienced and could identify examples of equity, inclusion, and anti-racism in their classes at BMCC. This panel presentation will include details on developing “You Are the Expert” workshops, implementation, and reflections from students on the experience of thinking about inequality, identity, pedagogy, and how to practice anti-racism inside and outside classrooms.
