Teaching Race, Racism and Gender in the Social Sciences

Online Teaching-In Session: Teaching Race, Racism and Gender in the Social Sciences

Co-organised by Women in Research Ireland , Irish Network for Middle East and North African Studies, and the Gender Studies Group at DSA Ireland

Calls for decolonising the university and the teaching curricula have become part of our daily reality as teachers, academics, staff and students in universities, and with them, more and more colleagues have committed to streamline the questions of gender, race and racism in their teaching agenda. The commitment to do anti-racist work in the classrooms is ever more urgent considering the persistence of racism on campus. This teaching-in has two goals. First, it aims to offer a forum where educators, teachers and lecturers can exchange ideas about and experiences of streamlining race, racism and gender in their teaching activities. Second, the session wants to be a space where we can discuss how to hold institutions and colleagues accountable when structural racism becomes obvious.
