This book will meet once per week for the four Thursdays in September.
In the critically acclaimed Whistling Vivaldi, Ohio State alumnus Claude Steele, who is currently Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost at the University of California Berkeley, explores the relationship between stereotype and identity in educational settings. The book is engagingly written, offering first person narrative and anecdotes alongside a digest of social psychology research on “stereotype threat.” If you are interested in learning more about how social expectations can shape student performance as well as practical strategies for making classrooms more inclusive, then join us for a month-long conversation! Free book with registration for all four weeks. Space is limited to twelve participants.
