Everyone in the classroom is likely at different levels in their (mis)information level and they all have had different (mis)information sources. @angiechuang wrote in the book about the need for students to unlearn misinformation. Very important lesson for educators. #AejmcChats
Q 5: As instructors, what do you find are the TWO MOST IMPORTANT things to remember when tackling race in the classroom? @BamaProducer @RobinBlom #AejmcChats
It's worth mentioning that the book contains 10 chapters with 10 perspectives from other scholars to discuss a topic from each chapter more in-depth, as well as an afterword. The book includes work from 24 #AEJMC scholars. #AejmcChats
A4: One reason is that many people are afraid to make mistakes or say "the wrong thing". We have some authors talk about those experiences in the book. #AejmcChats
A3: The Teaching Race book has three broad units: (needed) structural changes, positionality of faculty in the classroom while teaching race and diversity, and mentorship of students. #AejmcChats
A2: George was the first person I ever met at an AEJMC conference (Midwinter in Reno). Years later, he does research with my colleague Gabriel Tait, and I proposed to do a project together. I thought short conference paper; instead George suggested an entire book.😂 #AejmcChats
A2: The first thing that came into my mind after George proposed the idea: I can learn a lot. And it turned out to be a very immersive experience with many opportunities to talk about race and diversity with a wonderful group of scholars. #AejmcChats 1/2
A1: Teaching Race for an educator happens when race is or should be part of a particular classroom conversation. That brings many considerations to the forefront, because everyone brings their own experiences and knowledge (and misperceptions) into those discussions. #AejmcChats
Thanks to everyone for joining us tonight. As George said, we are very excited to talk about the book. It was thrilling to hold an actual copy in my hand a couple weeks ago.
We are excited to be on tonight with #AEJMCchats talking about not only the book Teaching Race but an approach to teaching that is sensitive to diversity and inclusion. Glad @RobinBlom joined me in this project
