Model for Anti-Racist Pedagogy
Over the course of 2021, I worked on an evolving list of core tenets for anti-racist pedagogy. We often use this phrase without any agreement or even reflection on what we really mean. How is this pedagogy overlapping yet distinct from inclusive teaching practices? As with all things in social justice movements, I will continue to improve on and expand these ideas. Meanwhile, you can access your ARP model today!

Intersectionality Student Project
The Intersections Public Education Project was developed as a faculty-student collaboration to emphasize intersectionality theory as applied to real world social issues such as racism, privilege, marginalization of LGBT individuals, sexism, and more. This assignment requires students to create and carry out a public education project that raises awareness of an intersectional social issue or teaches about the concept of intersectionality and the matrix of oppression and privilege.

Infusing Intersectionality: Psychology of Women Course
The resources below provide instructors with teaching tools for infusing intersectionality into a Psychology of Women course. In fact, the readings, videos, current events, could be used in a wide-range of courses with the goal of developing an intersectional focus. I developed these various resources when teaching an online undergraduate course using a 10-module structure. However, all of the materials could also be used in face-to-face courses.
The details related to this entire course and the use of the materials below can be found in the Case and Rios (2017) chapter within Intersectional Pedagogy: Complicating Identity and Social Justice.
Infusing Intersectionality & Social Issues: Social Psychology Course
The content below provides educators with ideas for incorporating current social issues and social justice into a Social Psychology course.
In this course, students and I apply social psychology research, theory, and concepts to a variety of social issues such as in-groups/out-groups, prejudice & discrimination, social movements, social policy, ally behavior to support social change, experiences of marginalization, privilege, intersections of identity, and social forces and barriers within social institutions.
