Are you one of a few people like you in your department, college, or discipline? Feeling pushed to the margins? Not sure how to make room for yourself (much less support other students while doing so)? You are not alone. In this workshop, we'll use Susie Wise’s Design for Belonging framework to dream, plot, and plan for our own belonging within the classes we support. Whether you have complete freedom to design your own course or have a very narrow scope of interaction with students, you can bring your authentic self to your TAship.
EVENT FORMAT: This workshop is an on-campus, in-person event.
EVENT FACILITATORS: April Andry Rah'man, PhD Student, Educational Policy Studies, aandry1@uic.edu
