DEI Departmental Meeting 11/11/20

Joan took notes, hosted as Joanne was in final rehearsals for the MS PLAY. 

In attendance:

Joan, Damon, Kristina, Susan, Carrie, Aedín, Peggy, Nick

Folks want to have a conversation over questions posed in DEI doc. 

• There was a great deal of discussion about the arts, how to teach but not appropriate. How to cover material within a performance based class.

Members got through one question all affirming that having a discussion about the prompts (and taking notes) was a more organic way of processing the document that we’re required to fill out.

Members will prepare to come in January with an example of work( several works)  that demonstrate change, and if we have nothing to change, we can talk about how we already practice inclusivity and how we reach our students of color in our teaching.
