Co-Facilitated by Andrea Verdan (Center for Faculty Development) and Maureen Feit (Nonprofit Leadership; Provost Fellow by Racial and Economic Justice)
The Center for Faculty Development, in partnership with the Center for Jesuit Education and the Office of Diversity & Inclusion, will offer two more one-off sessions from the Ignatian Pedagogy Series on Inclusive Pedagogies in Spring Quarter. Participants will:
- Explore what the higher education literature and Ignatian pedagogical principles teach us about inclusive pedagogies, with a clear focus on racial equity.
- Reflect on the interplay between the personal and the social as they relate to racial justice.
- Contemplate how the culture of your discipline impacts the content that you teach.
- Identify what you might already be doing in your teaching practice that supports or disrupts inequities.
- Explore how you, as a teacher, can incorporate voices, perspectives, and content into your classes to disrupt inequities.

Faculty Learning Community: Writing with Pleasure
Fridays: April 12, May 3 and May 24 | 11 a.m.–12:15 p.m.
Virtual| Register here
Facilitated by Naomi Hume (Art History)
This spring, the Center for Faculty Development will offer a three-session learning community for faculty, centered around Helen Sword's book Writing with Pleasure. Narratives in the Academy often describe writing as a painful chore, rather than the pleasurable challenge we might all hope for. As an antidote, Writing with Pleasure empowers us—whether our writing is academic, professional or creative—to reframe our negative emotions about writing and reclaim positive ones.
