Time: 10 AM - 3 PM

 

This year's showcase theme: "The person who does the work does the unlearning."

As the culminating event of a year-long multi-disciplinary learning community, the purpose of EASE was to explore a variety of topics associated with successfully supporting equity, diversity, and inclusion in the classroom and other learning spaces (e.g., decolonizing pedagogy and effective teaching strategies that facilitate transformative learning for our diverse student population). The series of sessions that make up EASE demonstrated that any course, regardless of subject/content, can and should employ anti-racist pedagogy. 

See below for the full day's agenda, recordings, and a slide deck for each of the panels. For any questions, please email diversity@ucmerced.edu
