On Monday, SMR members met for the latest installment of SMR Forum’s anti-racism reading group. This time, the readings had a pedagogical theme. Participants discussed these readings in relation to our particular teaching situations, mainly focusing on challenges and hopes of anti-racist teaching within broader institutional frameworks. A good time was had by all! For the reading list, see below.
