White supremacy and ableist thinking have pervaded education for decades, from notions of individual work to an emphasis on writing and timed exams. When we envision our ideal classroom, what biases or assumptions do we bring? In this workshop, we’ll craft a vision of our ideal classroom and then use Tema Okun’s “white supremacy culture” to examine our racist and ableist assumptions, working to move our vision closer to an inclusive and accessible classroom that serves all our students. Co-hosted by OPD and CIRTL@UMass.

The University of Massachusetts Amherst Graduate School is proud to host its 3rd annual Images of Research Competition! In academia, the act of research often goes unseen. This competition seeks to make graduate student and postdoc research visible in a literal sense: an image contest! “Research” is defined broadly to include creative and scholarly work in all fields and the image (photograph, collage, illustration) can represent your work or its impact either concretely or abstractly. Prizes will be given in three categories! Submissions must be received by Tuesday, February 15 2022.
