<p><strong>When:</strong> Friday, June 10, 8:30 AM - 2:00 PM&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Where:</strong>&nbsp;Downtown Campus (High Falls A&amp;B), with remote livestream option for those unable to attend in person</p>

<p>Extending the Teaching and Creativity Center's Theme for 2021-22, <em>Pedagogies of Care</em>, and last year&rsquo;s theme of <em>Committing to Equity-Minded Pedagogy</em>, this interactive workshop is based on the premise that love serves as an essential--and practical--guidepost for teaching in all disciplines. Artze-Vega will draw on two current projects (a student guide to relationship-rich education and a faculty guide to equity-minded teaching) to highlight connections among love, care, relationships, and equity. &nbsp;</p>

<p>Given the inextricable association between equity and instructors&rsquo; identities, participants will be guided through a brief process of reflection on various facets of their social identities. Because building trust is a foundational competency in equity-minded teaching, hands-on activities will introduce practical strategies for establishing rapport with students and securing (and maintaining) their trust. Through guided roundtable discussions, participants will collaboratively workshop how to transfer these strategies to&nbsp;their MCC contexts.&nbsp;</p>
