Decolonizing Mathematics
I am almost always very annoyed when people use the phrase “decolonizing X” in an academic context. Because 9 times out of 10, this phrase is a stand-in for the following totally fine but also totally insufficient things: - broadening the canon (e.g. introducing a wider variety of authors and voices into collections of frequently […]

Designing Problems for STEM Classes
What constitutes a “good problem” in a STEM class? Problem sets, forming a major part of assessment, can serve as more than just reinforcement of knowledge with an eye towards test prep. Effectively designed problems can acclimate students to a discipline, and introduce and strengthen methods of solution while simultaneously serving course goals. In this […]

Anxiety!
Everybody is stressed out! Your students, you, me, everybody. This meeting will feature a discussion on how to understand what your students may be going through, how to best serve them as teachers (without pretending to be their therapists!), and how to structure the classroom environment to allow students struggling with anxiety to do their […]

What Makes Being in Class in Person Meaningful? a Community Conversation among Instructors and Students
As we wrap up the year's return to in-person classes, this Community Conversation will bring together faculty and graduate and undergraduate students to explore what we value in learning together, and the teaching practices that make the most of that in-person experience. This is an opportunity for instructors and students to learn from one another, […]

POSTPONED: Increasing DEI with Engaging and Effective-learning Strategies in the Geosciences
What does good teaching look like? And how do we create a diverse and inclusive environment for the most effective and engaging learning? Active-learning methods can be an avenue for inclusive learning in geosciences. There is evidence that these methods improve diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the classroom in STEM and geosciences. We will […]
