Studio Course: Inclusivity: Awakening and Enacting Change

Centre for Learning & Teaching Studio Course
 
Inclusivity: Awakening and Enacting Change

Five consecutive Wednesdays 
(September 19, 26, October 3, 10, and 17)
1-3 p.m.
Killam Library, Room B400
 
“Diversity and inclusivity” has become a commonly used phrase, but how deeply do we understand these words?  In this course, through active, peer, and reflective learning activities, we will awaken our own interpretations of “diversity” and “inclusivity” and begin to apply our understandings to our life and work at Dal. Participants will take the Intercultural Development Inventory® (IDI®), and participate in a one-hour debrief and goal-setting session in advance of the course start date.  View a short video on the IDI here: https://youtu.be/QdxhozrbiW4. This course is an excellent pre-cursor to a second studio course being offered in another term, wherein we will dig deeply into applying inclusivity to our teaching practices.
 
The course will take place on five consecutive Wednesdays (September 19, 26, October 3, 10, and 17) from 1:00-3:00pm in the Killam Library, room B-400.
