Joint Workshop Series: CEU’s Developing Teaching Professionals Projects

OSUN IWT CLASP and CEU’s Developing Teaching Professionals projects invite OSUN colleagues to participate in the first of a two-part event exploring what an inclusive university in a global alliance looks like. The first session, taking place on May 9th, will consider the question, Who is the university?, by examining its actual “body,” e.g. students, faculty, and other critical stakeholders in thinking and learning. We will focus on the ways in which the university can open itself up to first-generation students, non-traditional learners and researchers, and other underrepresented groups. We will also discuss and compare models (and possibilities) of change in the university based on assimilation, structural change, and accessibility.

Both workshops will be interactive and will conclude with forward-facing action plans. Speakers in the first workshop include:

• Tom Sperlinger (Academic Lead, Black Mountains College)
• Dumaine Williams (Vice President and Dean of the Bard Early Colleges.)
• Aysuda Kölemen (Professor of Political Science at Bard Berlin and OSUN Threatened Scholars Coordinator)
• And respondent: Ain Ul-Khair (PhD student and researcher at Central European University)

This event is open to all members of the OSUN community. Please register by May. 6.

The second event will take place on Tuesday, May 16, and will explore the question: What is teaching at the university?
