SLHS DEI Monthly Meeting Updates
Our goals for the academic year 2020-2021 are to (1) complete diversity planning for SLHS in line with University-wide diversity planning (https://diversity.sdsu.edu/initiatives/planning), (2) create an anonymous student feedback portal for issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion, and (3) continue creating a supportive environment for our students and clients by building an SLHS library on books with social and racial justice themes and (4) expanding mentoring opportunities for our students.
The journal club discussed Taking Equity-Minded Action to Close Equity Gaps by Lindsey Malcom-Piqueux & Estela Bensimon, with a focus on the 5 core principles of equity-mindedness: (1) being race-conscious, (2) acknowledging the systemic nature of racial and ethnic inequities, (3) working to reduce inequities through our practice as educators, (4) relying on evidence such as student success metrics and feedback to guide our practice, and (5) to take an action-oriented approach to eliminate inequities in education.
The journal club discussed Language of Appeasement by Dafina-Lazarus Stewart (2017) and Principles of Antiracist Teaching & Reflection by the Multiculturalism, Race & Ethnicity in Classics Consortium (MRECC)). These articles examine best practices in teaching.
