Below is a list of textual, electronic, and institutional resources that we have found helpful in brainstorming antiracist teaching strategies in the context of writing intensive classrooms. We hope this list will grow as we continue to research equitable and inclusive pedagogies. Please consider reaching out to us with suggestions so that we can keep the conversation going.
Inclusive Pedagogies Reading List
The Inclusive Pedagogies Reading Group meets twice a term to read and discuss current composition theory and research in support of student writers from diverse backgrounds. No preparation is required; we read together then discuss; all are invited. To find out more about participating, email Emily Simnitt at esimnitt@uoregon.edu.
