Futures Initiative

The Futures Initiative aims to advance greater equity and innovation in higher education. Housed at the Graduate Center and reaching throughout the CUNY community, the Futures Initiative empowers the next generation of intellectual leaders with bold, public, and engaged teaching and learning. The Futures Initiative fosters greater understanding of the complexities of the higher education landscape by spearheading qualitative and quantitative research in areas such as academic labor practices and reward systems, open-access multimedia publishing, data visualization and interpretation, and institutional change. Through HASTAC@CUNY (a hub of the online network Humanities, Arts, Science and Technology Alliance and Collaboratory), the Futures Initiative extends its collaborative peer-to-peer practices across institutions, disciplines, national boundaries, and economic and social disparities, promoting reinvestment in higher education as a public good.

  • Creating Communities of Care in our Classrooms, Wednesday, November 10 @ 1-2 pm

    Posted by Jessica Murray (she///her) on November 3, 2021 at 12:03 pm

    Please join us for our first TLH Faculty Fellows-led event of the year:

    Creating Communities of Care in our Classrooms

    We invite you to join us for a 1-hour interactive, peer-to-peer workshop with four Mellon TLH Faculty Fellows, Cheryl C. Smith (Baruch College), Jason Hendrickson (LaGuardia Community College), Lara Saguisag (College of Staten Island), and Reiko Tahara (Hunter College). It will be an opportunity for us to have an honest dialogue with our students and colleagues about some of the experiments we have been doing to create communities of care in our classrooms. In the first half of the workshop, we will each present our efforts to create and implement real changes in our classrooms this semester, from implementing new models for collaboration and group work to revamping approaches to assignments and assessment. We’ll use the rest of the hour to hear from participants and engage in student-centered discussions about creating learning communities of care.

    Accessibility: We will have ASL interpreters for the event. Closed captions will be provided by TypeWell.
