This conversation will bring together Penn faculty, instructors and students, both undergraduate and graduate, to discuss our aspirations related to teaching a diverse student body, and to learning in this setting, as well as the challenges in pursuing inclusive teaching, and the sorts of actions we want to take to address those difficulties and pursue our goals. This dialogue is intended to enable us to hear from one another, to promote greater understanding of our varied perspectives and experiences, all while identifying practices we can employ going forward. All who are teachers or students at Penn are welcome; PennCard required; lunch is included with RSVP. Hosted by the Center for Teaching and Learning, co-sponsored by the Faculty Senate.
