Decolonizing the Future: Creating Brave New Worlds
The Biannual Focus on Teaching on Learning (FOTL) conference co-hosted by Loyola’s Institute for Racial Justice (IRJ), the Faculty Center for Ignatian Pedagogy (FCIP) and our campus partners intends to draw attention to teaching during times of turmoil.
- October 2023: Continue the dialogue on “Decolonizing the Future: Creating Brave New Worlds Possibilities and Alternatives for Promoting Justice and Equity” as part of a series of Focus on Teaching and Learning Conference events sponsored by the Faculty Center for Ignatian Pedagogy and the Institute for Racial Justice. Amy Nelson Christensen is a Clinical Assistant Professor and Associate Dean for Inclusive Excellence and Strategic Innovation in the School of Education at Loyola. In her talk, she will define her experiences with decolonizing curriculum in higher education settings and discuss the role that all faculty play in this practice, particularly how this translates into pedagogy. She will also discuss how all faculty can serve as an ally or co-conspirator in supporting their departments, programs, or units in their own decolonization work.
