Faculty Resources
In response to the pedagogical implications of the COVID-19 pandemic while also drawing from our commitment to our principles, we have curated and developed materials on teaching and learning for this critical moment. This moment raises questions about accessibility, equity, grading, and how to approach engaged pedagogy during periods of sustained crisis. These materials cover topics ranging from asynchronous learning to trauma in the classroom.
Gender Inclusivity in the Classroom
This guide addresses gender inclusivity at Barnard, particularly in classroom settings. While many faculty and staff may identify as transgender, nonbinary, gender nonconforming, and/or gender questioning, our guide is specifically focused on supporting students who fall within any or multiple of these categories.
Post-Election Discussions in the Online Classroom
Discussing presidential elections can be a challenge in any year, but this year’s US election—in the midst of an ongoing global pandemic, continuing economic precarity, and social and political upheaval in response to persistent racial violence—feels particularly fraught. Appreciating that instructors will take diverse approaches depending upon their discipline, courses and students, we offer some general suggestions for creating space for election and post-election discussions in your online classroom communities, and ideas about how to approach integrating these conversations into your courses sensitively and substantively.
