CEE Anti-Racist Pedagogies Program: Healing From Racism JourneyHealing from Racism Journey (HRJ) is a four-part asynchronous and synchronous online program designed to facilitate the journey of, initially, 12 SFU teaching faculty and sessional instructors in their commitment to anti-racist pedagogies. As a participant, you will immerse in an intimate platform for self-research, growth, and work on your ongoing practices as an anti-racist educator in terms of resisting anti-Blackness racism, anti-Indigenous racism, anti-Asian racism, and other forms of violence against IBPOC/BIPOC communities. Based on the explored antiracism frameworks and pedagogies, you will develop a plan of action for implementing strategies in your teaching practice.

This series provides faculty with an opportunity to look at our challenges, failures, and successes as we explore new ways of teaching and learning remotely with a focus on providing high quality learning experiences for students. This new stream of inquiry grants will support SFU faculty investigation of the strategies they are using as they move their classes online, and changes they are implementing to support student success in online learning environments.
