We will explore strategies for developing welcoming and learner-centered syllabi, revisit syllabus materials to make them more transparent and inclusive, and personalize syllabus statements (e.g., DEI statement). This casual retreat will include dedicated time and space for participants to work on their syllabus drafts.
