How Might We Collaborate to Advance Racial Justice‪?‬ Three Questions about Teaching and Learning (3QTL)

    • How To

In a 3QTL first, we are delighted to feature two guests on today’s episode: Dr. Patrina Duhaney and Dr. Regine King, the award-winning co-developers and instructors of a University of Calgary course entitled “Afrocentric Perspectives in Social Work.” As members of their Faculty’s Anti-Black Racism Task Force, which was established in 2020 following the murder of George Floyd, Dr. King and Dr. Duhaney were motivated to create a course that would familiarize students with the challenges and barriers experienced by Black people in a Canadian context. Our guests also found themselves in the difficult situation of having to launch and team-teach this course during pandemic lockdowns. Join us as Dr. Duhaney and Dr. King describe the social justice principles at the foundation of their approach to team teaching, their creative and collaborative assignment design, and their strategies for communicating—with each other and with their students—in a new and challenging teaching and learning scenario. Full episode transcript and references are available on our website.
