Conversations across the CPLC\, Steering Committee\, and some clusters have generated enthusiasm for working to settle processes\, structures\, and roles so we can turn more fully to curriculum\, projects\, and teaching. Visit to share your perspective and catch up with others in the first faculty-focused discussion of the initiative for some time. The Plymouth Union Caucus (a consortium of all three campus faculty unions) has asked the CoLab to organize and host this event. The CoLab welcomes all faculty of any rank to participate. We especially encourage people new to the conversation and those who have been playing (or have played) a leadership role in any cluster or cluster activity to attend. We will begin with a brief review of several new ideas that are circulating in faculty groups\, and then turn to a discussion of the current strengths and challenges of the cluster initiative. We will end with action items focused on next steps that we can take to make progress with clusters and focus faculty more coherently on our work of curriculum design\, teaching\, and scholarship.\n\nRequest Meeting Link\n \nRequest Meeting Link\n×\nRequest video conference link for “Cluster Faculty Check-In and Planning For Next Steps” \n\nName*First\nLast\nEmail*Please enter your PSU email address.

It is safe to suggest that a majority of our students (and faculty!) carry unhealed trauma that\, even if it does not manifest in a psychological diagnosis\, affects their/our imaginative and emotional lives. Gabor Maté M.D. describes this traumatic material we carry as “explosive\,” sensitive to inadvertent triggers. And this was before 2020. \nWorking on the assumption that most\, if not all of us\, enter the classroom space as carrying this explosive material inside us\, we will explore in this workshop: How do we create and facilitate learning spaces where students (and ourselves) can be safe without necessarily comfortable\, heard and seen without it being a therapy session (which calls for a different training and skillset beyond what faculty have)? What are the practices\, skills\, methods\, and structures that can serve in this time\, where wounds demand a place in our consciousness and teaching\, regardless of whether we want them there or not? \nIn this experiential\, fun and dialogical series of 3 workshops\, we will explore principles and strategies for trauma-informed teaching\, curriculum development and delivery\, so that students are lifted up and we can teach\, as poet/performer Cecilia Vicuña expresses it\, with “healing intent.” \nYou may attend all of these sessions to complete the series\, or come to any one as a stand-alone. \n\nSaturday October 9th\, 10am – 12pm in person\, lunch provided following the program!

The first two workshops will focus on practicing social psychology based strategies for mitigating one’s own (implicit and explicit) biases. Workshop 3 will take the form of a discussion about the ways in which systems and structures at PSU could be improved to increase equity and inclusion. The goal of this last workshop is bring members of the campus community together to identify (and begin planning) ways we can make this a more inclusive community. \nYou may attend one\, two or all three workshops and there are no prerequisites for participation. \nOctober 13\, 4PM – 5PM: Bias Reduction in Higher Education (part 1): Looking out for microaggressions and subtle behaviors. \nDescription: This workshop will focus on recognizing microaggressions and subtle verbal and non-verbal behaviors that may communicate biases towards marginalized students and colleagues. We’ll talk a bit about research\, look at some examples\, and complete an exercise to think more deeply about the messages our body language can send. \nDue to the sensitive nature of this discussion\, this is an in-person only event. \nNovember 10 4PM – 5PM: Bias Reduction in Higher Education (part 2): Using bias reduction techniques from the social psychology literature. \nDescription: In this workshop\, we’ll identify\, discuss\, and practice 5 bias reduction techniques supported by evidence from the social psychology literature. Techniques discussed include: activation of egalitarian goals\, perspective gaining\, establishing a common group identity\, counter-stereotyping\, and forming implementation intentions. Due to the sensitive nature of this discussion\, this is an in-person only event. \nDecember 8 4PM – 5PM: Bias Reduction in Higher Education (part 3): Structural sources of bias at PSU. \nDescription: This workshop will focus on biases in the systems at PSU that negatively impact students\, faculty\, and staff from marginalized groups. This workshop is intended to be a discussion\, where were work together to identify potential issues facing PSU. I am aware that these discussions are already happening in a few different communities/groups on campus. My hope is that this discussion will help connect individuals interested in enacting structural change and inform the topics/format of workshops for Spring 2022. This event is hybrid and is open to all faculty and staff. \nOops! We could not locate your form.
