African American Literature: Open for Antiracism (OFAR)

Rating
0.0 stars

The Open for Antiracism (OFAR) Program – co-led by CCCOER and College of the Canyons – emerged as a response to the growing awareness of structural racism in our educational systems and the realization that adoption of open educational resources (OER) and open pedagogy could be transformative at institutions seeking to improve. The program is designed to give participants a workshop experience where they can better understand anti-racist teaching and how the use of OER and open pedagogy can empower them to involve students in the co-creation of an anti-racist classroom. The capstone project involves developing an action plan for incorporating OER and open pedagogy into a course being taught in the spring semester. OFAR participants are invited to remix this template to design and share their projects and plans for moving this work forward.

This resource contains assignment details for the co-creation of a class "dictionary" of terms/phrases used by students in their speech communities.

This module also contains a project overview and a warm-up exercise that support the main project, as well as ideas for complimentary assignments for use in a themed course.

In this 16-week composition course, students explore, discuss, read about, write about, and research food. More specifically, they delve into specific and varied aspects of food like food and identity, food and culture, food and the brain, food production, food marketing, and food access. In doing so, this learning community considers how and why food is the perfect avenue for learning about themselves, for recognizing and valuing their "already" banks of knowledge, and for knowing the fascinating, ever-changing, and often challenging world in which they live.

In this module we discuss community in a variety of ways, from fiction and non-fiction. The module is mostly face to face, with online follow-up to practice written expression of their experience. The module finishes with a guest speaker from a First Nation, Miwok Rancheria. This guest builds on the readings, expands our ideas of who is in our community (city), and provides a face-to-face introduction and discussion with a member of the Miwok Nation (an experience no student had up to this point).
