Into the abyss or taking flight \u2013 what\u2019s the \u2018new normal\u2019 in our post-pandemic world? And are we really \u2018post-pandemic\u2019?<\/p>\n

This idea was the focus of conversation and debate for 29 faculty from 12 community colleges across the country and guest speakers for six hours via Zoom on Friday, July 16, to explore the impact of the past year and COVID-19 on teaching and learning\u00a0through disciplinary perspectives such as economics, creative writing, communications, anthropology, environmental studies, business, geography, history, sociology, among others.<\/p>\n

It was all part of the annual Community College Master Teacher Institute<\/a> (CCMTI), a\u00a0curriculum development workshop, designed and led by the UW Center for Global Studies.<\/p>\n

Held in summer at the University of Washington, and co-sponsored by the\u00a0UW\u2019s\u00a0six federally-funded National Resource Centers which are housed at the Jackson School, the Foster School\u2019s Global Business Center and Northwest International Education Association, each year CCMTI explores a global topic from a variety of perspectives and disciplines. Community college faculty apply and are competitively selected to participate and receive a stipend.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is rare for faculty at community colleges to be offered an opportunity from a leading research institution to engage in meaningful issues that resonate across the disciplines. Historically community college faculty are overlooked,\u201d said Jayanti Tamm, an associate professor of English at Ocean County College in New Jersey and book author who attended the CCMTI for the first time. \u201cThe CCMTI provides a unique forum where community college faculty across the county can explore a range of issues\u2026and have a robust exchange of perspectives. The result is a wonderful and informative Institute that leaves its participants feeling valued, energized, and enlightened.\u201d<\/p>\n

Guest speakers this year included faculty from the UW Jackson School of International Studies, UW Tacoma School of Interdisciplinary Studies, and Highline College, and a senior program manager from the Pacific Northwest Economic Region. The speakers examined issues facing the countries and regions they study or interact with, such as disruptions to global supply chains from Washington state to the ports of Vietnam, India\u2019s response to COVID-19, cross-border tourism between Canada and the U.S., and the changing roles of women in the Middle East, and how these places and peoples are responding to the changes brought about by the pandemic and other global forces.<\/p>\n

The workshop delved into ways to internationalize and decolonize the community college curricula and classroom. The afternoon session was dedicated to\u00a0critically\u00a0discussing, with participants each receiving a copy of Felicia Rose Chavez\u2019s \u201cThe Anti-Racist Writing Workshop: How to Decolonize the Creative Classroom,\u201d<\/i>\u00a0strategies and sample lesson plans for building community and centering voice in diverse communities and experiences, in both public and private universities.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe had a meaningful and timely conversation about the way racism impacts our teaching and what it means to create liberatory learning experiences free from oppressive practices,\u201d said\u00a0Tanya Grace Velasquez, an associate teaching professor in the School of Interdisciplinary Arts &\u00a0Sciences at the University of Washington in Tacoma who presented in CCMTI 2021. \u201cI\u2019m inspired by CCMTI and the faculty participants\u2019 dedication to creating quality instruction.\u00a0It speaks volumes that the UW Center for Global Studies has established an on-going professional development opportunity for community college faculty specifically.\u201d<\/p>\n
