Brooklyn College’s Commitment to Anti-Racism
Coming to terms with racial inequalities and taking action on historical injustices is not only part of our mission, but is a strategic priority at Brooklyn College and one in which success depends on sustained engagement and contributions from every person in our community. The Anti-Racism Initiative at Brooklyn College encompasses the collective work that happens every day to ensure that we are living up to our mission. This work has occurred and continues to occur in many forms and by several groups across the campus. – Brooklyn College Initiative
“Anti-Racist Pedagogy: We must enhance culturally relevant programs at the College and ensure that we deepen our anti-racist pedagogy. We will work to increase institutional support for the departments of Africana Studies and Puerto Rican and Latino Studies, but we cannot confine our efforts to those departments. Our efforts must be college-wide. This fall, the Provost’s office and the Center for Teaching and Learning will offer professional development for faculty to understand the experience of students of color in their classes, especially where there are racially disparate outcomes by course. This fall, we will ask department chairs to work with their faculty to identify and highlight culturally relevant programs and anti-racist pedagogy in their own curricular offerings. Over the course of the year, we will work with chairs to enhance these programs and pedagogies across the College.” – Michelle J. Anderson, President, Brooklyn College CUNY
The Health and Nutrition Sciences Anti-Racism Curriculum Committee at Brooklyn College are creating this Anti-Racism Curriculum Open Resource to assist faculty in identifying and highlighting culturally relevant programs and anti-racist pedagogy in their Health and Nutrition Sciences curricular offerings.
You can access these anti-racism resources by topic or format. There is also a anti-racist resource suggestion form where you can submit anti-racism teaching and curriculum resources for us to include to this repository, share your knowledge with us!
