Description
Summary:In this podcast episode, a panel of journalism professors from Carleton and Toronto Metropolitan universities discuss their experiences teaching anti-racist approaches to journalism while also dealing with both pandemic fatigue and oppression fatigue. They identify how pandemic and oppression fatigue added new layers of stress for both educators and students. The panel touches on strategies they use for making BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and People of Colour) students feel welcome in journalism, for example by taking on mentorship roles both inside and outside of class. They also discuss how they bring care to the classroom by allowing students to rewrite assignments, incorporating breathwork in their classes, or incorporating regular check-ins to see how students are feeling.
