Inclusive Teaching Seminar Tomorrow (2/10)!
Dr. Bryan Dewsbury is here to talk about inclusive pedagogy
Good afternoon,
Please free to share this invitation widely.
You are invited to attend the Inclusive Teaching seminar hosted
tomorrow, Wednesday, February 10 at Noon with our special guest speaker, Dr. Bryan Dewsbury, for the graduate students working towards their
CIRTL certification, this event counts towards it.
This event is open to all campus community.
As we know, there exists an array of student experiences in education. Research suggests that graduation rates are lower for underserved students, particularly those in STEM fields. Some students might find themselves experiencing microaggressions or disparities in the classroom and in the community. The first step to bettering their learning experiences is to understand those disparities and the experiences of the students and offer a more welcoming environment for students to succeed and create a sense of belonging.
In addressing these inequities, we have invited Dr. Bryan Dewsbury to come and speak with us on the topic of inclusive pedagogy. Dr. Dewsbury defines inclusive pedagogy as a "philosophy of teaching that provides equal opportunities for all students to have a successful learning experience". In addition, Dr. Dewsbury will share a series of teaching practices that could help underserved students to succeed. Are you interested in learning these tools? Come along and join the conversation!
Bryan Dewsbury, PhD
Bryan Dewsbury is an Associate Professor of Biology at the University of Rhode Island. He is the Principal Investigator of the Science Education And Society (SEAS) research program where as a team they blend research on the social context of teaching and learning, faculty development of inclusive practices, and programming in the cultivation of equity in education. He is also a Fellow with the John N. Gardner Institute where he assists institutions of higher education cultivate best practices in inclusive education. He was born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago. He immigrated in 1999 and attended Morehouse College for his Bachelor of Science in Biology after which he attended Florida International University for a Masters and PhD also in Biology. From there he transitioned to URI where his research focuses on inclusion and equity. Among his many publications is his 2019 piece Deep Teaching in the STEM classroom (CSSE) that recentralizes dialogue as the basis for good teaching. He has conducted faculty development and given plenary addresses on this topic to over 50 institutions of higher education, corporations, and K12 institutions across North America.
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow.
Best,
Yarazeth of the PROMISE Program

Two New Inclusion Initiative!
Get involved, make difference & join Dr. Lee this semester
Good afternoon folks,
I hope you are hanging in there as best you can! Initiatives for Identity, Inclusion & Belonging (i3b) is rolling out a set of new initiatives this semester that are focused on broadening our reach beyond undergraduate students. Given your populations, I am hoping you can help us share these initiatives across campus.
The first new initiative is our
Workshop Wednesday w/ i3b series, which is targeted at
faculty, staff, graduate students and adult learners. These are opportunities to engage around social justice topics that can support personal growth and professional development. All sessions are interactive, and designed for skill-building and practice. Our first session is happening next week and will focus on Understanding and Overcoming Imposter Syndrome. You can access the event HERE.
The second new initiative is our
OCA Mocha Mondays w/ i3b series. Which is a collaborative effort with OCA Mocha cafe to bring together the campus and surrounding communities in dialogue around social justice topics. While we are currently starting virtually, these sessions will take place at OCA Mocha once it is safe to do so.
You can access the event HERE.
Thank you so much for helping share this information! You can also access a full. overview of our area and our work for this semester
HERE.
Please let me know if you have any questions!

Nicole Telfer: Ethnic-racial Socialization Practices, Gender, and Academic Achievement Among High School Students
Date: Wednesday, February 24, 2021 (12pm)
Description: Parents of color, specifically, engage in ethnic-racial socialization (ERS) practices to increase youth's self-esteem, as well as protect them from racial bias and discrimination. Studies have found that ERS practices have implications for youths' academic achievement outcomes, and these outcomes may also vary by gender. In this presentation, Nicole Telfer will talk about a study done under the supervision of Dr. Nicole Else-Quest that examined the relationship between ERS practices and academic achievement with gender as a moderating variable.

Online Jodi Kelber-Kaye and April Householder: Baltimore’s Radical Feminists: Community Empowerment and Urban Communes in the 1970s
Date: Friday, March 5th, 2021 (12pm)
Description: In the early 1970s, some young female academics moved to Baltimore to teach and to organize what they hoped would be the socialist feminist revolution, in addition to other revolutions they planned to inspire. In the city, they found peace activists, feminist therapists, students and young wives eager to connect with women in the varied activities of second-wave feminism. Many of these newcomers gravitated to the cheap rents in the neighborhoods of Charles Village and Waverly, where they established institutions of a vibrant counter-culture: urban communes and collectives, women’s therapy groups, a feminist bookstore, a child-care center, a people’s free medical clinic, a food co-op, a coffee house, and Women: A Journal of Liberation, a national radical feminist publication which flourished for the next fourteen years. These radical and socialist feminists created a local community that was revolutionary then and many of those women remain politically active in Baltimore today. This lecture will explore neighborhood and community histories and examine the unique radical feminist collectives, communes and organizations in Charles Village and Waverly in the 1970s and the historic attempts made by these activists at creating a living model for social change. Given the deeply embedded structural inequalities of today’s Baltimore, we contemplate how these histories are reflected in a vibrant city capable of building radical and intersectional social movements and a collective consciousness based on the concept of equity.

Date: Monday, March 29, 2021 (12pm)
Description: Fluorescence is a phenomenon whereby certain substances “glow” when absorbing light energy. A vast array of fluorescent molecules are used in the life sciences to visualize microscopic structures. Learn the physics behind fluorescence microscopy and how this dazzling technique is used for biological research and to produce artful images.

OnlineMelissa Penley Cormier: Photography as Evidence and Excuse
Date: Friday, April 23, 2021 (12pm)
Description: This artist talk will center around photography as evidence and scientific data -- and how the act and process of photography is an excuse to look at, study deeply, and devote time to subjects. Using examples from Special Collections as well as images of her recent works, Melissa Penely Cormier will discuss how art and science inform and inspire each other in her own work as well as others'.

The Fulbright-Hays Doctoral Dissertation Research Abroad (DDRA) Fellowship Program provides opportunities for doctoral candidates to engage in full-time dissertation research abroad in modern foreign languages and area studies. The program is designed to deepen research knowledge and increase the study of modern foreign languages, cultural engagement, and area studies not generally included in U.S. curricula.
Program Features
Students may request funding to support overseas research for a period of no less than six months and no more than 12 months. Funds support travel expenses to and from the residence of the fellow and the country or countries of research; maintenance and dependent allowances based on the location of research for the fellow and his or her dependent(s); an allowance for research-related expenses overseas; and health and accident insurance premiums. Projects may focus on one or more of the following geographic areas: Africa, East Asia, Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands, South Asia, the Near East, Central and Eastern Europe and Eurasia, and the Western Hemisphere (excluding the United States and its territories).
Eligible Applicants
Institutions of higher education (IHEs) in the United States are eligible to apply for grants under this program. As part of the application process, eligible students submit their individual research narratives and application forms to their home IHE. The IHE compiles all eligible individual student applications for inclusion in the institutional application that is submitted to the U.S. Department of Education. A student is eligible to receive a DDRA fellowship from their IHE if he or she
- is a citizen, national, or permanent resident of the United States;
- is a graduate student in good standing at an IHE;
- is admitted to candidacy in a doctoral degree program in modern foreign languages and area studies at that institution when the fellowship period begins;
- is planning a teaching career in the United States upon completion of his or her doctoral program; or
- possesses sufficient foreign language skills to carry out the dissertation research project.
