Black Futures Teach-In
Black Futures in the Classroom Part I: Student & Faculty Fireside Chat
(Held March 31, 2022 via Zoom, 12:30 PM – 2:00 PM)
As part of Black Futures, we believe teaching is reciprocal: namely, that students & faculty share in the production of knowledge. The diversity amongst our student populations also offers a kind of local & global perspective that has been underutilized.
In this fireside chat, Dr. Angie Beeman (Marxe SPIA) and Dr. Rojo Robles (BLS) addresses the significance of Black Studies and African Studies in their research, teaching, & creative practices. Following this intellectual & practical exchange, Beeman, Robles, and other Baruch Black Studies Colloquium faculty developed public knowledge projects with their students inspired by the open education innovations of Schomburg Syllabus & PRSyllabus.
Black Futures in the Classroom Part II
