Building Capacity—Networking and Resource Sharing for IBPOC Teaching and Learning Community

The Anti-Racist Teaching and Learning (A-RTL) team at CTLT is excited to welcome you to Building Capacity—Networking and Resource Sharing for IBPOC Teaching and Learning Community, a networking, wellness, and educational space offered to the IBPOC identifying teaching and learning community during the CTLT Summer Institute. This is an intentional space to connect IBPOC faculty, students, and staff across the University, to cultivate kinship, community care, and support. While we recognize the variety of spaces, collectivities and modes of organizing across the IBPOC communities as UBC, this event is designed to cultivate an open space of connection and solidarity-building across affinity groups. Acknowledging that connection is foundational to anti-racist teaching and learning, this session is for new and returning IBPOC educators at UBC to connect and share teaching, learning and wellness resources and ideas in a mutually supportive space.

This is also an opportunity for you to meet the A-RTL team, who have spent the summer revitalizing programs, resources, and consultations. We are excited to introduce ourselves and share more about our programming directions, consultation pathways, and priorities for the coming year. We also look forward to hearing your feedback and ideas on how we can best support you and what you think is important surrounding anti-racist teaching and learning professional development at UBC in the upcoming year. This session will have light beverages for you to enjoy!

Learning Objectives:  

• Connect and build a network with new and returning IBPOC faculty, lecturers, graduate students, and staff who are interested in anti-racist pedagogies and practices
• Meet the A-RTL team at CTLT, and become familiar with some of our offerings, programming, and consultation services
• Share your ideas and feedback about how the A-RTL team can provide pedagogical and curricular support for IBPOC educators at UBC. Familiarize yourself with campus teaching, learning, and wellness resources, curated for the IBPOC teaching and learning community

There will be some lightly facilitated activities and discussions to facilitate getting to know each other. Facilitators will share some teaching, learning, and wellness resources curated for IBPOC educators at UBC. Light refreshments will be provided!
