TSC: Mentoring Students of Color
In this Teaching Scholarship Circle (TSC), a four-session forum of roundtable discussions, we will grapple with the difficult issue of mentoring students of color. With the spate of violence against people of color over the past few years, and on the heels of the recent presidential election in which aspects of race were front and center, this issue has never been more important. Who are students of color? What does it mean to be “of color”? And how can we, in an educational environment, better aide these students in their academic journeys? We will discuss all of these issues, and more, in this TSC.

TSC: Mentoring Students of Color 5 years, 10 months agoPhil, thank you so much for organizing this group. It has been a profound experience for me getting to listen to and talk with every one of you. I’m sorry to miss out on the happy hour this afternoon, but I’ve got to pick up my kids from after school.
I hope to continue these conversations with you all in the future. (and thanks for all the…[Read more]

TSC: Mentoring Students of Color 5 years, 10 months agoDear Mentoring Students of Color TSC:

I look forward to continuing this conversation both on and offline (and at Bedford Falls over a beer in about two hours!). Here’s the link of the website I ci…[Read more]

TSC: Mentoring Students of Color 5 years, 11 months agoThank you for this. It gives me hope. I appreciate the profiling of so many students from truly diverse backgrounds (race, age, birth order, birth or foster family membership, religion, gender, sexual orientation – and the intersections) and the enormous task a faculty member has in these settings. The courage they all have to come to your cl…[Read more]

TSC: Mentoring Students of Color 5 years, 11 months agoRicardo, thanks. I was sorry to miss out on the conversation this past Friday.
I’m chiming in here to add that we have most of the books from your list available at Hunter in one or more of our libraries (or as e-books, see below for details) and I will add the ones we don’t have to my list of books to order.
Lives in Limbo-undocumented and…[Read more]

Janet Neary uploaded Lindon Barrett, "Institutions, Classrooms, Failures: African American Literature and Critical Theory in the Same Small Spaces" to
TSC: Mentoring Students of Color 5 years, 11 months agoHi everyone, this essay is a bit more scholarly and field-specific than some of the things that we have discussed so far, but I think the pedagogical implications are broad. I look forward to discussing it with you and hearing from you if/how you see the premises discussed here by Barrett relate to your fields of study. Also, another things I…[Read more]

TSC: Mentoring Students of Color 5 years, 11 months agoHi All,
À propos last Friday’s discussion, here is a piece I did for The Chronicle of Higher Education a few years ago that you might find interesting. Don’t worry, it’s only one page.
Best,

TSC: Mentoring Students of Color 5 years, 11 months agoThanks for this Nadine! Yes, it’s a great group. It’s nice to be able to discuss these issues, issues that one so rarely gets to discuss in a group forum. Let’s see how we can keep our work alive after the TSC ends.
Thanks, Ricardo, for posting that source as well.

TSC: Mentoring Students of Color 5 years, 11 months agoHi Folks,
I just wanted to thank you all for the resources and the great discussion. Maybe I missed it, but did we discuss the profile of a “traditional” student? I appreciate what James said about the “nontraditional” student as the common student in some settings.
James, thank you also for the framework for thinking about moving from the m…[Read more]
