CRECS Noon-Hour Colloquium with Nadia Abu-Zahra
Changing Classroom Structures in the Digital Age
Mar 6, 2025 — 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
We invite you to join us on March 6th from 12:00 to 1:00 pm EST for a discussion with Nadia Abu-Zahra (she/her), professor with the Faculty of Social Sciences and CRECS Principal Researcher. Her presentation is titled "Changing Classroom Structures in the Digital Age".
Abstract :
For many reasons, the power relations, purpose, and roles or responsibilities in the classroom are ready for a change. Course instructors no longer know if students have authored their submitted work. Students no longer know if instructors have authored their syllabi. Non-precariously employed instructors and service providers are dwindling compared to burgeoning student populations within inaccessible, hierarchical environments. Many good ideas have been tried and tested, helping to weather the challenges of today. How can we consciously build on these to make postsecondary institutions places of belonging, learning, and healthy relations?
We encourage you to share this virtual event with your students and colleagues!
