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.

In this poetry workshop, nationally touring artist and activist Joe Davis will interweave poetry, body-centered skill-building, and healing justice practices to invite participants to reclaim their collective power. No need to identify as creative, all experience levels are welcome. Together we'll practice envisioning and embodying a world of joy, beauty, and human flourishing!
