CELT’s book group discussions are designed to engage faculty in a range of research-based topics focusing on teaching and learning. During these lively, interdisciplinary discussions, participants are encouraged to consider how what they’ve read could stimulate changes in their individual teaching practices.

In higher education, unconscious bias, microaggressions, institutionalized racism, and systemic injustices are deeply ingrained. Healing is an ongoing and personalized process, and Dr Magee shows the ways that those with different identities and experiences can use mindfulness in self-healing and confronting injustices. Through mindfulness--paying attention to our thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations in an open, nonjudgmental way--we increase our emotional resilience and recognize our own biases. Given that these concepts often aren’t acknowledged or discussed in academia, we invite you to join your peers in conversations about this book.
CELT will provide copies of the book. Two discussions will be held via zoom.
