This is great, Stefanie! You've provided some great ideas for driving students to think about these issues while still accommodating faculty goals for instruction in a limited amount of time.

Thank you for this poster! Such important work and vital in teaching students to be critical thinkers and not just consumers of information. Do you find being at a state institution that the pressure to be "neutral" is even greater? If so, how do you respond to that?

Honestly, I feel the most pressure to uphold "neutrality" in the terms of peer review. Peer review and academic publishing are full of systemic racism (please see Dr. Monnica T Williams' experience for one example - https://www.psychologytoday... and it's been the hardest system for me to challenge. I think this is because peer review is a system whereby faculty gain their academic power.

Great poster! Thank you!

These are some great ideas, Stefanie - thanks!

I like the idea of trying to find articles by BIPOC people, just curious, how would you do this? Most articles just list names and I think using a person's name as an indicator or even their photo could be potentially problematic.

Hi Kathleen! This example was from a conference presentation and that came up during the Q & A. It's a bit tenuous but the other presenters had their students Google people and try to figure it out that way. Definitely not full proof. I also think this is a situation where you want some students to fail so the points about power and privilege and voices not being heard becomes readily apparent.
