Building Inclusive Academic Communities (BIAC) Plenary
12:15 - 1:15 pm
| family-style lunch for attendees, including vegetarian and GF options
Petrowski Room, Marsh Hall


Through this inclusive pedagogy co-mentoring program, senior and junior faculty, graduate and undergraduate students build community as they examine their own social identities, share their understandings of what makes an inclusive classroom, develop knowledge of the theory and practice of inclusive pedagogy, and design teaching and learning practices that foster greater student engagement and academic achievement.

This is collaborative community-based research in action!

In this plenary session, members of the 2023-2024 BIAC cohort will share the teaching and learning projects they have developed through their pod's research into inclusive pedagogy, examination of their own positions, assets, and needs, and observations of one another's teaching and learning.
