Title of pre-recorded presentation:

Teaching Belongingness versus Perpetuating Colonialism in our Classrooms.

Title of pre-recorded presentation

A System of Exclusion or a Work in Progress? Access, Equity, and Inclusion in World Language Classrooms in the US.

Our speakers prepared recordings of approximately 15 minutes in which they address issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion in their respective fields of German Studies, Spanish Studies, and related fields and university administration. We have asked colleagues to include in their recorded presentations 3-4 sources they have found particularly useful to their thinking about questions of DEI in their fields.


The recordings are still available on the speakers page.

The goal of this event is to address issues regarding teaching, service, research, and hiring practices concerning DEI.
