In today’s academic climate, classrooms are shaped by uncertainty around academic freedom, technology, and student well-being. This interactive virtual session — led by the Teaching Engagement Program, and joined by Dr. Jimmy Howard — brings together faculty and graduate instructors to share perspectives and collectively explore how teaching and learning are being experienced in the current environment.
The session will begin with space for participants to reflect on challenges they are encountering — both as instructors and as students — followed by guided discussion and practical strategies for navigating difficult classroom moments with care, clarity, and mutual respect.
Topics may include (but are not limited to):
- The presence of recording devices and classroom technology
- Concerns about monitoring or surveillance by peers or outside groups
- Fostering open discussion while being mindful of student anxieties, including those of international and undocumented students
- Supporting students who express fear, stress, or uncertainty during class or office hours
- Understanding mechanisms of support at UO for instructors and students
- Identifying campus resources and pathways for assistance
This session is designed as a dialogue, not a lecture. The goal is for instructors to leave with a clearer understanding of available resources and strategies for navigating complex classroom dynamics, grounded in community input.
This is a virtual event. Please join us via Zoom at this link: https://uoregon.zoom.us/j/95733903223
This event is made possible by the Center for Latino/a and Latin American Studies and the Teaching Engagement Program at University of Oregon.
