À l’été 2020, le professeur Christopher Manfredi, vice-principal exécutif et vice-principal aux études, et son équipe ont instauré une série de discussions intitulée Affaires universitaires, où la communauté d’enseignement et de recherche de McGill est invitée à débattre d’enjeux prioritaires. Animées par des personnes de différentes disciplines et facultés, ces séances virtuelles se tiendront tous les mois pendant les trimestres d’automne 2022 et d’hiver 2023, toujours à l’heure du dîner, soit de 12 h à 13 h. Tout le monde est bienvenu!

Professor Angelica Galante (Faculty of Education) Professor Jason Harley (Faculty of Medicine) Professor Mugambi Jouet (Faculty of Law) Professor Christopher Manfredi, Provost & Vice-Principal (Academic) |

Equity and University Life Balance through and after COVID-19 In many ways, the COVID-19 crisis has had disproportionate effects on marginalized populations and groups that are underrepresented in postsecondary educations. What are the equity implications of COVID-19 for university members (students, staff, and faculty)? And are there opportunities to leverage this unprecedented disruption in the ways we learn, work, and collaborate to establish university processes and practices that promote equity? Professor Brian Rubineau (Desautels Faculty of Management) |

Respectful and Inclusive Learning Environments McGill’s commitment to equity is cross-cutting, guiding all aspects of our academic mission. Ensuring that our students learn in spaces characterized by openness to diverse views and by respectful and inclusive engagement is of paramount importance. How can we ensure that our classroom spaces are open, accessible, and inclusive? To what extent are these commitments challenged if students must learn virtually for the coming period? Join experts from McGill’s Equity Team who will lead a discussion on these questions. Rachel Desjourdy (Accessibility Advisor) Sinead Hunt (Senior Equity & Inclusion Advisor) Shanice Yarde (Equity Education Advisor, Anti-Oppression & Anti-Racism Education) |

Teaching Remotely Part 1: Effective Pedagogy at a Distance Last March, the pivot to remote delivery of our courses was sudden and instructors across campus moved swiftly to transition their teaching to virtual platforms to ensure our students could continue their learning. Remote delivery of courses continues into the Summer term and it may be the case that our Fall term will require remote delivery for at least some of our courses. Join two campus leaders in the realm of teaching and learning in a discussion about the resources and strategies that McGill has put in place to support instructors through this transition so that we can maintain our commitment to quality academic programs and courses. Professor Christopher Buddle (Associate Provost, Teaching & Academic Programs) Dr. Laura Winer (Director, Teaching & Learning Services) |
