Didem and Maria are Equity Rock Stars!!!

12:52
Can someone put the link in the chat

13:02

13:09
Thanks Didem!

14:28
yes

20:28
Here is the link: https://web.peralta.edu/de/files/2019/05/Peralta-Online-Equity-Rubric-2.0-May-2019.pdf

20:36
Thanks Chelsea!

21:49
You’re welcome :)

24:27
Welcome, Jennifer!

24:56
Thank you! Great to “see” everyone. :)

26:28
Question: the content I'm supposed to teach does not involve racial bias or stereotypes. How do you suggest I teach it if I'm not supposed to teach it?

26:55
What’s your subject again? Math?

26:58
Agreed Vanson

27:01
I hear that! I have a reply....

27:11
Seems to be only be white men.

27:15
All white males working on engineering/architecture project.

27:21
They're all white cis-males

27:24
Wearing ties

27:28
All wearing suits

27:29
Same age group?

27:58
Seems like administrator roles

28:44
Even the background is white

28:50
None of them look like me.

28:53
Lol, Benjamin.

28:54
LOL

28:54
College is meant for young conventionally attractive white people?

29:15
Then again, I've seen more diverse pictures of colleges and then when you get to campus, it's hella white

29:25
I don't enjoy school, so it's not fo me

29:31
all are standing up and giving me the thumbs up ;/

29:39
Who uses spiral notebooks anymore? ;)

29:47
True Vanson

30:17
They look able-bodied

30:23
Open pedagogy, right?

30:24
Good point, Vanson.

31:00
*cheers*

32:47
I've had no coursework on bias or anything like it. I feel like at a disadvantage.

33:38
It's not part of the math curriculum. We don't even talk about how all the mathematicians from a few hundred years ago are euro males.

33:53
Could you start with an icebreaker around that, Vanson?

34:13
I suspect back then and even before, mathematicians weren't just euro males

34:23
I'd love to hear more Chelsea!

34:25
YES!

34:26
Setting up that framework and inviting students to share how math has worked from them in their respective cultures or communities

34:38
or upbringing

34:44
I think students believe mathematicians are euro males

34:51
It seems hard to bring up without bringing up threats

34:54
they've (we've) all be taught to think so

35:02
Or making students feel that they don't belong

35:06
Indigenous artists???

35:08
I like it

35:51
Ben, that’s a good comment to bring to the group. Let’s discuss later

36:10
Vanson… do you teach students the REAL history of math?

36:11
Inger, you sent that comment to Vanson to me privately. Change setting to send it to everyone!

36:37
I never learned the REAL history of math.

36:42
Not part of grad school.

36:57
The history of biology is not a part of my biology courses

37:03
Sounds fun though

37:08
That would be such an interesting project to do together with your class, if you could make space for it in your curriculum

40:11
How can you assess your biases?

40:16
Exploring the true history of math and science is an amazing project!

40:24
Harvard’s implicit association tests!

41:40
Ben, have you heard of Scientific Spotlights? My bio colleagues at Laney have been weaving this in to their curricula I believe

42:15
When I get defensive about something with my students, I have to stop and check my bias.

42:17
That's my old professor! Kimberly Tanner helped research and produce those. It's a great resource

42:42
Amazing!!

42:52
I have been biased towards richer students who are more likely to be "prepared" for math or who are more likely to be confident in math; these students require less work to teach.

43:11
I like all this honesty!!!!

43:17
Jennifer Eberhard wrote a GREAT book called Biased! Totally worth your time!

43:40
I have been biased away from poor students who may not have the resources and might not have been so supportive when they couldn't afford to purchase something related to class.

44:31
Vanson - me too and I’ve harmed students with this bias in the past. :(

44:38
I also don't want to feel bad that I'm biased against other people. I don't want to be seen as a bad person if I'm biased again people for their race or gender or anything.

44:43
Honesty- This chat feels like when students are in the back talking amongst themselves while the instructor is talking.

45:03
Emmanuel: yup!

45:05
I'm biased against those students too!

45:14
But I am one of them?

45:19
I am.

48:09
Thank you for your honesty, Emmanuel!

49:26
I teach public speaking online and students do their speeches on Zoom. I’ve had to let go of the formality of speech presentations having that “formal” feel of standing behind a podium. When students do their speeches on Zoom they’re in all kinds of places. The front seat of their car, their house, in the break room at work, etc.

49:31
The power of humanizing, Maria!

50:43
This aligns with E8 of the online equity rubric: connection and belonging. Students can really connect to their instructors when they can see and hear them.

53:18
Will we have access to this powerpoint?

57:22
I like how you are focusing on peer to peer support in the class, Didem!

59:41
I want to share a wonderful article Michelle just wrote on Humanizing to Equitize Higher Education

59:45
You can find it here: https://brocansky.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/HumanizingOnlineTeachingToEquitize-PrePrint.pdf

I love this
