This workshop will define positionality and invite participants to reflect on their own positionality (socio-historical location) in the classroom and its impact in shaping perspectives and interactions in the classroom, across all disciplines. Participants will have the opportunity to work through case studies through an exploration of how positionality affects interactions, decision-making, and biases. By the end of the session, participants will develop strategies for addressing and leveraging positionality in their teaching and cultivating a sense of belonging in the classroom.
Presenters: Nassisse Solomon and Menahal Latif
