International Instructors Working Group
As international instructors, our own identities (e.g., race, gender, nationality, age, etc.) may impact interactions with our students. Join this supportive group to talk about challenges you are facing and discuss pedagogical strategies that can help you to create an inclusive learning environment in which your students and you can thrive.
