-isms in the Classroom
12:40 PM
April 8th
UC 237

This discussion will continue the initial discussion held in August of 2007 called oUT in the Classroom: Integrating LGBT Topics in the Curriculum. In that session, we discovered that many issues relating to racism, sexism, heterosexism, ageism, and religious intolerance were "hot button" issues in the classroom. Please join us for this ongoing sharing of experiences of how to fairly and most effectively handle topics such as these in the UT classroom.
