 This workshop is co-sponsored by the Office of Academic Affairs and TOCAR as an effort to help faculty build skills in creating inclusive curricula.  Teams of faculty are encouraged to apply in order to build a coherent curriculum, but individual applications are welcome.  Dr. Victor Rodriguez from California State University Long Beach and Dr. Emily Drew from Willamette University will return to work with us.  Workshops from the past two years were full to capacity and received rave reviews.

If you wish to participate in the Antiracist Multiculturalism Across the Curriculum Workshop in May 2008, attendance at a Level I and/or Level II antiracism training is required.

The trainings listed above are free and all meals and materials are provided.  Participants in the Antiracist Multiculturalism Across the Curriculum Workshop will each receive a $1,000 stipend.  If you would like more information, or would like to register for any of these trainings, please contact Anita Bender at x4973, or at tocar@mnstate.edu
