Inside UofA-Funded Scholarship Series

This in-person two-day workshop will bring together U of A faculty and staff across all disciplines with the goal of furthering the scholarship and praxis of culturally responsive teaching and learning. The workshop will specifically focus on examples, questions, and pedagogies connected to local and place-based environments. Participants will workshop pedagogical possibilities, explore mechanisms for implementation in U of A courses, and generate ideas for designing scholarly activity aimed at studying the philosophy, design, implementation, and outcomes of culturally responsive teaching and learning. The workshop will build upon content shared through UCATT’s Inclusive Teaching mini-courses and the Culturally Responsive Curriculum Development Institute. 

The workshop will feature a place-based, cultural experience in partnership with Galeria Mitotera and the U of A’s CIELO program. The experience will include a local food and mural tour, historical overview of South Tucson, and workshopping of connections to cross-disciplinary content.
