Dear colleagues,

I would like to pass on information about the inaugural Conference for Antiracist Teaching, Language, and Assessment, called ATLA 2021. Their website describes the event as, "An opportunity for instructors across a variety of disciplines to meet, share ideas, and build antiracist approaches to teaching and learning."

This free digital conference will be held via Zoom in the Pacific time zone on Friday, September 17, and Friday, October 1. Between conference days, there will also be asynchronous activities "focused on taking actionable steps towards enacting antiracist teaching in our lives and classrooms."

The conference will be hosted by Oregon State University and moderated by Jesse Stommel. Keynote speakers include Vershawn Ashanti Young, Ana Milena Ribero, Victor Villanueva, and Asao B. Inoue.

Register for ATLA 2021.

Best,

Arianna Cheveldave ​[Hear my name]
