In this episode, Teaching & Learning Center staff Durkel Dalrymple and Sherley Paulino interview John Jay students Erika Pacio, Hanna Yeum, and María Plata about their experiences of feeling respected and disrespected in their remote classes during the pandemic. Each student offers her own perspective on how instructors manage culturally responsive, inclusive, and antiracist teaching in ways that support or interfere with learning. This is the first of two episodes dedicated to the DEI Faculty Initiative project at John College of Criminal Justice, which will create and offer workshops on antiracism and other forms of social justice this coming year.
