Digital Dissensus: Discovering Truth in an Era of Misinformation | Community Classroom Series
2020-10-22 16:00 - 17:15 | ZOOM, WA, United States
October 22 | 4 p.m. – 5:15 p.m.
OPEN TO STUDENTS, STAFF, FACULTY & TRI-CITIES COMMUNITY

Are conspiracy theorists and anti-maskers anti-fact? Or is there a deeper dynamic at play? Mike Caulfield, director of blended and networked learning at WSU Vancouver and nationally recognized digital literacy expert will discuss the roots of our current “digital dissensus” and explain how our approach to education may be making the problem worse. How do we design education for a world where information is plentiful, and attention is the scarcity? How do we encourage analysis and engagement in our students without having those same impulses gamed by bad actors? What epistemic stances and heuristics serve the public in a world where expertise is niche and very little is directly verifiable, and where facts are atomized, separated from analysis, and reassembled in bizarre and dangerous ways?

Speaker
Mike Caulfield
Mike Caulfield is the director of blended and networked learning at Washington State University, Vancouver and a nationally recognized digital literacy expert. His areas of expertise include informal learning, online communities and open educational resources with special interest in civic literacy and digital citizenship.

Dismantling Racism: The Game of Change | Community Classroom Series
2020-10-29 11:00 - 12:15 | ZOOM, WA, United States
Dismantling Racism: The Game of Change

October 29 | 11 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
OPEN TO STUDENTS, STAFF, FACULTY & TRI-CITIES COMMUNITY

Racism in our world is not a new issue. In the current climate no one wants to be deemed “bad” but people struggle with maintaining systems of power and privilege and being deemed a “good” person. While faculty and community practitioners have some knowledge of the historical roots of structural racism, there is a lack of awareness of the impact of this social construct, and that it is supported by implicit bias. Through the lens of medical education and popular culture we will explore how this works and what we can do address and stifle it in academe and society.
This workshop/discussion will offer members of various communities the language and practices to move the “center at the margins” – that is to shift their view point from a majority group’s perspective to that of the marginalized group or groups. We plan to provide strategies to help faculty become more aware of the problems of bias and structural racism. We will broach ways to reduce the systemic impact on resident and other faculty evaluations. Utilizing principles presented in work by Dr. Robert R. Gaiser on teaching professionalism: i.e. reflective thinking, metacognition, and transformational learning in a small group interactive environment we hope to translate practices that are applicable to things like sports culture and daily life.
