SUMMARY:Essentials of Teaching and Learning: Creating Inclusive Learning Environments (for Graduate Students)
DESCRIPTION:Learn about the key terms\, frameworks\, and principles of inclusive teaching. Join the CTL for a workshop for graduate students focused on strategies and tools for including all of your students in the learning process. We will ask how instructors can create inclusive classroom environments that set up all students for success\, as well as how instructors can help students learn through the diversity of experiences and perspectives they bring to the classroom. \nBy the end of the session\, participants should be able to: \n– Identify and reflect on teacher and learner identities and their relationship to inclusive teaching\n– Describe key terms in inclusive teaching scholarship\n– Develop strategies for creating an inclusive course climate\n– Apply inclusive teaching principles to their own teaching practice \nThe Essentials of Teaching and Learning workshop series for graduate students is focused on giving you tools as a new or developing instructor to better facilitate student learning and improve your teaching practice. These workshops are best experienced sequentially. \nAttending this workshop and posting reflections satisfies a Foundational Track requirement for participants in the Teaching Development Program (TDP). See http://bit.ly/ctl-tdp for details. \nRESERVE YOUR SEAT. \n

SUMMARY:Ôe\, Africa\, and Mr. Delchef: Non-Aligning Japan
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nPlease join for a lecture with:\n\n\n\n\nChristopher Hill\, Associate Professor of Modern Japanese Literature\, University of Michigan \nModerated by: Kim Brandt\, Research Scholar\, Weatherhead East Asian Institute\, Columbia University \nŌe Kenzaburō’s 1964 novel A Personal Matter begins with the protagonist looking at a map of Africa. What does this opening scene have to do with the novel’s intrigue\, which involves a baby\, Soviet nuclear tests\, and a peculiar Balkan diplomat? The beginnings of an answer are in Ōe’s work with the Tokyo-based Committee for African and Asian Writers and his contributions to its magazine\, Asia-Africa Bulletin\, which connect his most famous novel to a less known concern with the decolonization of Asia and Africa. Professor Hill argues that A Personal Matter outlined a new way of understanding Japan’s positionality in the postwar world. In Ōe’s view\, the role of the Japanese state in the U.S.-Soviet confrontation defined Japanese intellectuals’ Sartrean “situation”—the position in which they had to act—but did not limit the non-aligned alliances with other parts of the world that they could imagine for themselves and the country. On the contrary\, imaginative non-alignment and situated ethical and political action\, including opposition to atomic weapons\, supported each other. \n \nNo registration required. \nThis event is organized by the Weatherhead East Asian Institute at Columbia University.\nEvent Contact Information:\nAthina Fontenot\n212-854-6916\naf3018@columbia.edu\n
