DeCuir, A. (2021, Mar 24). Advice for humanizing classrooms and practicing antiracist pedagogy, Inside Higher Ed.
Although often narrowly defined to teaching issues of race and inequality, antiracist pedagogy itself is grounded in the work of humanizing one another. Humanizing validates students’ right to show up as they are and to claim their lived experiences as meaningful, and it recognizes them as the deeply complex individuals they are. The author shares 10 habits to humanize the online classroom to embody antiracist pedagogy.
