This year, CSUDH's Innovative Teaching Symposium highlights the journeys and experiences of faculty members who have taught and continue to teach during a global pandemic. Since March 2020, COVID-19 has not only had a profound impact on our students but has also had a significant influence on faculty in our personal lives and how we teach and approach student learning. The past two years have exposed myriad ways in which structural inequities affect the lives of our students; we have also witnessed our students adapt to the changed learning landscape.

During the period of remote instruction and to the present, faculty have undertaken unprecedented professional development to implement teaching practices and methods that are more equitable, inclusive, and compassionate, and humane. This year's Innovative Teaching Symposium seeks to acknowledge and highlight these strategies and efforts.

WELCOME, KEYNOTE SPEAKER, DR. TARA J. YOSSO

Tara J. Yosso is a first generation college student and Professor in the Graduate School of Education at UC Riverside. She earned her Ph.D. at UCLA in the Graduate School of Education and Information Studies, in Urban Schooling.

Dr. Yosso's research and teaching apply the frameworks of critical race theory and critical media literacy to examine educational access and opportunity. She takes a collaborative, intersegmental, and transdisciplinary approach to studying the ways Communities of Color have historically utilized an array of cultural knowledge, skills, abilities, and networks to navigate structures of racial discrimination in pursuit of educational equality. 

She has authored and co-authored numerous chapters and articles in publications such as the Harvard Educational Review, Journal of Popular Flim and Television, and History Education Quarterly. The American Educational Studies Association recognized her book, Critical Race Counterstories along the Chicana/Chicano Educational Pipeline (Routledge). She was honored by the Critical Race Studies in Education Association with a 2017 Derrick Bell Legacy Award.
