This virtual conference is offered by Academic Impressions which offers this overview of their event: The Black Lives Matter movement and the resulting widespread public reckoning have many educators urgently examining their classrooms for oppressive practices and structures. Practiced under many different names, culturally relevant pedagogy is an approach to teaching that purposefully challenges androcentric, Eurocentric, and heterocentric knowledge. This process requires an instructor to frequently examine their own knowledge base, unpack where bias may lie, revise course materials and practices, and be both vulnerable and courageous enough to have tough conversations in their classrooms.
