Webinar on post-election classroom dynamics on December 8

The National Center for Faculty Development and Diversity is hosting a webinar on Thursday, December 8, at 11 a.m. (PST) addressing potential issues with classroom dynamics following last month's election.

The webinar, titled "Post-Election Q&A: Strategies for Dealing with Emerging Classroom Dynamics," will be an open session for educators to pose questions and share concerns about manifestations of post-election stress in classroom settings, particularly for under-represented faculty.

Dr. Chavella T. Pittman, Professor of Sociology at the Dominican University of California, will facilitate the webinar. Dr. Pittman is a faculty development coach who, among her many areas of expertise, assists educators in developing inclusive classroom environments. Her own research is in the areas of interpersonal oppression and higher education, and Dr. Pittman has published articles addressing women faculty of color and their experiences with white male students, as well as how African-American faculty cope with race-based stressors.

If you have questions or concerns about post-election classroom dynamics, please bring them to the webinar on December 8. Information and links to registration can be found here.
