Anti-Racist Assignment/Activity Create-athon: Creating anti-racist classroom spaces and assignments doesn’t simply happen. This is work that we have to plan ahead for. This Create-athon aims to help us set aside time to do just that - plan ahead to build inclusion and equity into our assignments and activities for the upcoming spring semester, with a specific focus on better supporting Black students on campus. This semester’s focus is in line with EGSOs aim to work in solidarity with Black students currently leading the way in pushing UK to address its issues with anti-Black racism. (Note that future create-athons and workshops may focus on supporting students from a range of marginalized groups at UK.) We will start at 10:00 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. with built-in lunch and snack breaks as we go. We will build and workshop assignments together and we will each leave with at least one new and/or revamped anti-racist assignment or activity to use in our classes in the spring. MAs, MFAs, and PhDs all welcome!
