Description
This interactive workshop explores Culturally Sustaining Pedagogy (CSP) as a tool for fostering belonging, engagement, and success for BIPOC and other minoritzed students. Dr. Kareem Watts will share insights from his arts-based research on how Black and African American professors use hip hop pedagogy (HHP) to enhance student learning and challenge traditional education norms. Join us to gain practical strategies for creating inclusive, culturally sustaining classrooms that advance equity and social justice.
