The Biology 5001 Journal Group for Autumn 2021 will focus on the topic of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion in introductory biology. Articles will be chosen by participant leaders and sourced from the current biology education research literature. This is intended to be a cohort of participants that will meet for 6 Wednesdays from Sept 29-Nov3 from 4:30-6pm. Although we hope you can attend all meetings, you are required to attend at least 5 of the 6 meetings. You will receive 10-14 points total: 2 pts participation, and then 2 additional points for presenting a week.
This will Amy will lead a discussion on the article: Gin, L. E., Scott, R. A., Pfeiffer, L. D., Zheng, Y., Cooper, K. M., & Brownell, S. E. (2021). It’s in the syllabus… or is it? How biology syllabi can serve as communication tools for creating inclusive classrooms at a large-enrollment research institution. Advances in Physiology Education, 45(2), 224-240.
