Want to learn more about antiracist and inclusive teaching practices? We have two ways you can get involved:

1. Join our reading group

Inclusive Pedagogies meets twice a term to read and discuss current composition theory and research in support of student writers from diverse backgrounds.

Our goals are to develop a shared language for writing instruction and assessment as they relate to diversity, equity, and inclusion and to build a community of instructors and tutors who help each other reflect on and refine inclusive teaching practices. We also provide a place for teachers to discuss our own praxis and to share what we’ve learned through national conference papers, invited talks, and other research-based products. We are committed to the project of combating racism and anti-Black racism through critical and inclusive pedagogy and praxis.

*All are invited and no preparation is required for reading group meetings.*

At each meeting, we spend 30 minutes reading a selection of recent research related to pedagogy and the intersections of gender, race, sexuality, ability, and other aspects of identity. The remainder of the meeting focuses on discussion of the reading and time to share thoughts and experiences related to practicing inclusive, antiracist pedagogies in our classrooms.

Subscribe to the IPRIG mailing list for meeting announcements. See our blog and events pages for news, meetings, and related campus events.

 

2. Contribute to our website

The Inclusive Pedagogies website is a clearinghouse for course readings, research and criticism, teaching materials, podcasts and videos, and other resources that support inclusive / antiracist pedagogy and praxis.

In addition to our history, blog, and events calendar, this website is organized around three main categories:

Writing – readings, syllabi, assignments, and other course materials that support inclusive / antiracist teaching in WR and other writing-based courses

Contract Grading – materials for equitable and inclusive contract grading and labor-based assessment practices in WR, ENG, and other courses

Antiracism – educational resources that combat racism and anti-Black racism across the curriculum

 

Would you like to share contract grading models or inclusive / antiracist teaching materials? Know a good antiracist podcast, video, or blog? Please submit your resources using the form below.
