Welcome to Racing Minds’ New Working Group: Trauma-Informed Classrooms
On this page, you will find updates on Racing Minds’ Working Group: Trauma-Informed Classrooms. This working group acknowledges the university ‘learning environment’ as often traumatizing, due to the fact that it is structurally racist, and recognizes that many of our students are dealing with sexual, racial, and anthropocenic forms of trauma—not to mention a global pandemic—when they enter the classroom. These realities can make it difficult for students to focus their minds. This working group aims to explore pedagogical interventions and engage with scholarship that will enable us as students and educators to foster trauma-informed classroom environments that are inclusive, equitable, and supportive.
