Between June 21-24, the CEP will offer a virtual pedagogy workshop that revolves around the forthcoming exhibit, Undesign the Redline. This workshop will be designed to offer a core group of Barnard teacher-scholars with opportunities to learn about the substance of the exhibit and to collaborate with each other to develop ways to integrate different aspects of the exhibit into their courses. The CEP is particularly interested in bringing together a group of 8-10 faculty that are committed to exploring what a substantial incorporation of Undesign the Redline can look like in a variety of classes (lectures, seminars, practice-based courses, and more). 

Undesign the Redline is an interactive installation that draws together archival materials, timelines, and narratives that chart the entangled histories of racism, housing discrimination, and spatial segregation within U.S. culture and history. Not only does the exhibit engage with these topics historically, but it also includes customized areas that prompt viewers to reflect on how these materials relate to ongoing patterns of discrimination and what steps might be taken in the present to undesign this legacy of planned inequality. In this regard, Undesign the Redline presents a unique opportunity for faculty to consider how they will undesign and redesign their courses in order to facilitate deep engagement with the exhibit during the time of its installation.

If you are interested in participating, please fill out the linked form by 5pm on Friday, April 16th: https://forms.gle/ZkAp8KE9dsHmTpJ99.
