CLAS Graduate Assistant Training #1: Building a Reflexive Teaching & Scholarly Practice

The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences Graduate Assistant (GA) Training is designed to help you succeed in your role as graduate assistants and work toward creating inclusive learning and mentoring environments for undergraduate students.

This training is required for all newly appointed graduate assistants (as well as those who hold an appointment but were not able to attend last year's training). All graduate students are welcome to attend.

This is the first in a series of two workshops:

Building a Reflexive Teaching & Scholarly Practice

Explores identifying and strategically intervening in the structures of domination and erasure in academic fields and in the production and dissemination of knowledge. It supports you as you engage in a reflexive scholarly practice that complements and complicates the mastery of a body of knowledge. You will identify the roots of exclusion and inclusion in your academic field and understand how the history of your discipline affects your work today.
