You are invited to join the Futures Initia tive for a live-streamed\, one-hour workshop on engaged pedagogy as a way o f modeling a more egalitarian society. The workshop will take place on August 28 at 1 pm at the CUNY Graduate Center\, rm. 9204\, and will be facilitated by Professor Cathy Davidson. This workshop opens The University Worth Fighting For\, a series of worksho ps that tie student-centered\, engaged pedagogical practices to institution al change\, race\, equality\, gender\, and social justice.
To help bu ild momentum prior to this workshop\, we also invite you to join this student-led read ing group\, “Towards a Pedagogy of Equality.” This public\, student-led discussion is open to anyone for the next month on the learning community\ , HASTAC. The workshop on August 28 at the Graduate Center is intended to b uild upon the online conversation. Instead of a conventional academic talk\ , we hope to highlight many diverse voices in the workshop\, and include as many creative\, activist\, non-traditional approaches to pedagogy as possi ble.
Suggested Readings and Viewings:
HASTAC has invited Futures Initiative Graduate Fellow and HASTAC Scholar < a href="https://www.hastac.org/u/danicasavonick">Danica Savonick to get us started on our first conversation.

Description< /p>
Join us at the Graduate Center on November 18 from 1-2 PM in the Skyl ight Room (room 9100) for an open\, livestreamed discussion.
This is the fourth of eight conversations as part of The University Worth Fighting For\, a year-long project designed to tie student-centered\, engaged practices in our classrooms to larger issues of institutional change\, equality\, race\, gender\, and all forms of social justice.
The discussion on career paths and hiring practices will ran ge from practical suggestions to higher-order questions\, including thorny issues related to the casualization of academic labor\, the size of PhD pro grams\, and ways that expanding our expectations of career outcomes might a ffect the structure of graduate programs (as well as who has access to thos e programs and who sees them as worth the investment).
