[Uosenate] Upcoming webinars by Provost's Teaching Fellow Anita Chari

[Spike Gildea]

Dear Senators,

I write to pass on information about two exciting webinars offered next week by Anita Chari, a Provost’s Teaching Fellow for 2021-22. I have already registered for the first one, but unfortunately the second is scheduled in conflict with next week’s Senate meeting. Fortunately, Anita will be offering additional workshops next term, including one during a portion of our Senate meeting on February 2nd.

I encourage all of you to check out the first workshop and to encourage your departmental colleagues to catch them both, so that we can all benefit from Anita’s experience and expertise.

Best,
Spike

Subject: Re: Provost's Teaching Fellows/Senate Leadership: Anita, Alison, Spike, Elliot, Lee
Dear Spike and Elliot,

I’m writing to invite you and members of the Faculty Senate to two virtual workshops on Trauma-informed Pedagogy and Anti-Oppressive teaching that I’ll be teaching next week in my role as a Provost’s Teaching Fellow, on Nov 16, 2021 12:00 PM and Nov 17, 2021 03:30 PM. The workshops are open to all faculty so please pass the word along to any colleagues who may be interested. The workshops are experiential and will teach tools for responding to this moment that is so overwhelming for many of us and our students. The practices you’ll learn draw from trauma-informed pedagogies, embodiment work, and anti-oppressive practices that will support faculty to settle their nervous systems and facilitate safety and depth in the classroom in a time that is filled with polarity, uncertainty and stress. You can find workshop descriptions and registration links below.

I look forward to staying in conversation with the Senate about ways to bring this kind of work into our teaching community. I'll also be presenting a workshop next quarter at one of your meetings, and I'm really looking forward to it.

Warmly,
Anita


Webinar 1: Teaching amidst Crisis: Foundations of Trauma-informed Pedagogy
Time: Nov 16, 2021 12:00 PM Pacific Time (US and Canada)
Register HERE: https://teaching.uoregon.edu/events/teaching-amidst-crisis-foundations-trauma-informed-pedagogy

This workshop introduces participants to the foundational practices of embodied, trauma-in­formed pedagogies. The workshop will support you to create connection and embodied presence in the classroom in a period of multiple and ongoing crises. The pandemic has exacerbated profound social inequalities and injustices, and the result is an increase in anxiety, stress, and burnout among students, faculty, and staff as we return to in-class instruction. This workshop will address trauma and overwhelm with practices that you can begin to use in your classroom and in your life immediately.
Webinar 2: Embodied Practices for Inclusive and Anti-Oppressive Teaching
Register HERE: https://teaching.uoregon.edu/events/embodied-practices-inclusive-and-anti-oppressive-teaching

This workshop will support attendees to participate in equity and inclusion work based on trauma-informed pedagogies, embodied nervous system practices, and paradigms of embodied social justice. Racism and colonization are not limited to individual attitudes, biases and prejudices. They are structurally anchored in the forms of denial, disembodiment, and historical erasure that permeate most of our institutions–educational, socio-political, and economic. Our bodies are a crucial site for working with this disease of forgetting that we see in our society, because the body is where we hold racialized trauma, both individually and collectively. Embodied practices are key to cultivating anti-racist and anti-oppressive environments and will support participants to work with dynamics of historical and contemporary intersectional oppression at a personal and professional level. This workshop empowers participants with a trauma-informed approach to equity and inclusion as it applies to decolonizing the classroom space in your work as an educator and scholar.
