Theoretical Thursdays
Theoretical Thursdays is a facilitated, cohort-based reading group intended to deepen your understanding of inclusive teaching pedagogies and principles through engaged discussions with fellow educators. Highlighted frameworks may include culturally relevant pedagogy, engaged pedagogy, trauma-informed pedagogies, feminist pedagogies, and indigenous pedagogies.
Overview
Theoretical Thursdays is a set of 3 one-hour sessions in which a cohort of Northwestern instructors will convene to discuss identity-affirming pedagogical frameworks that cultivate a sense of belonging and inclusion in learning environments. Participants will engage in dialogue with fellow attendees on selected readings as well as share their personal thoughts, questions, insights, and experiences with engaging in DEI work in higher education. Veronica Womack, the Center’s Associate Director of Inclusive Learning, will facilitate these engaged discussions on inclusive teaching pedagogies.
