Featuring Keynote Speaker Dr. Bryan Dewsbury
Brought to you by the Irwin L. Slesnick Symposium and Science Math and Technology Education in partnership with the WWU Alumni Association
In this talk we will examine the role of the instructor from personal social positioning with pedagogy that requires engaging with and opposing oppressive forces. We will also closely examine the social context of today's higher education students, both before and during college in order to better position ourselves to design educational experiences for equity.
