Description

Join us at the Graduate Center on October 22 from 1-2 PM in room 9205 for an open, livestreamed workshop. The workshop will be livestreamed at http://bit.ly/FuturesED-live.

This discussion is the third in the The University Worth Fighting For, a series of workshops that tie student-centered, engaged pedagogical practices to institutional change, race, equality, gender, and social justice.

To help build momentum and to provide a place to discuss related theory and research in greater depth, we also invite you to join this student-led reading group on HASTAC. The discussion group will remain open for three weeks following the workshop. Collaborate in an open Google Document where anyone can add notes and questions during the session: http://bit.ly/fight4edu-humanities.
