Antiracist Pedagogy

The Poorvu Center for Teaching and Learning offers this page as a resource for instructors who want to learn about antiracist teaching practice and as a place to make ongoing Yale faculty antiracist efforts more visible. At the Poorvu Center, we do not position ourselves as experts on antiracism; instead, we strive to learn and grow in our understanding of antiracist teaching in community and conversation with Yale instructors and experts in the field.
