There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Ibram Kendi writes in How to Be an Anti-Racist (2019) that “there is no neutrality in the racism struggle. The opposite of ‘racist’ isn’t ‘not racist.’ It is “antiracist.’ …The only way to undo racism is to consistently identify and describe it—and then dismantle it.” Racism is reproduced in institutions throughout our society, and higher education is not exempt. Faculty have an important role to play in dismantling racism in their own classrooms. In this virtual workshop from the Center for Teaching and Learning, participants will first hear stories from students who have experienced racism at Georgia Tech. Participants will then identify concrete strategies to engage in antiracism pedagogy through their course goals, content, classroom facilitation, and assessment strategies.
The BlueJeans link will be sent to participants upon registration. Because of the sensitive nature of the conversation, this workshop will not be recorded.
To sign up for the workshop, please register.
