Conference
Ethnicity and the Campus Environment: Expanding Understanding
Author
- Herbert King (Iowa State University)
Abstract
This workshop will examine how the campus environment generates a range of feelings, reactions, assumptions and perspectives that make teaching and learning at predominately white institutions challenging. Participants will reflect upon what they know about themselves to deal effectively with these issues. They will be asked to identify specific issues and challenges one might encounter, be encouraged to develop constructive ways to address identified issues and challenges, and design an action plan along with identifying sources of support.
