Biography
Jim is a co-facilitator in the Seminar for Transformation around Anti-Racist Teaching (START), and in 2021, he gave a presentation for the Sheridan Center, titled, "Towards Anti-Racist Pedagogy."
Being a fellow has meant developing meaningful relationships with other fellows, Sheridan Center staff, and instructors and students from across campus in the context of discussions of how to nurture the growth of our students. It has also meant further developing my voice for conveying the value of practices that center all of our learners.
