Join us for an exciting day of generative sessions facilitated by Barnard students, faculty, and staff that engage with a variety of important topics and themes related to teaching and learning. These include sessions on public humanities, encountering "difficult texts" in the classroom, trauma-informed approaches to teaching, media literacy, digital humanities, accessibility and assessment design, study strategies, and more! We will conclude the conference with a special dialogue in celebration of the 5th anniversary of the Bold Conference. Shreya Sunderram BC ‘19 will be joined by Barnard faculty Thea Abu El-Haj & Yvette Christiansë from 4:30-6:00PM to reflect on the beginning of the Bold Conference and its continuing legacy.
