Global Challenges Teaching Award - Racial Justice

The Global Challenges Teaching Award 鈥� Racial Justice will support a pair of teaching faculty 鈥� one at a US higher education institution (HEI), one at a UK HEI 鈥� to co-deliver a virtual exchange programme on the topic of racial justice.听

Racial injustice persists on both sides of the Atlantic.

Do you run an undergraduate class at a US or UK HEI that directly addresses the pressing question of racial justice? Find out more about what this Award can do for you to expand the reach of your teaching for one of your existing classes.听

The histories of oppression that have led to today鈥檚 racial inequities are intertwined with the history of the United Kingdom and the United States. Understanding structural racism and working for an equitable future require collaboration between people from all cultures and background. Racial injustice is a global problem, and we need to develop global citizens who can work together to address it.听

The Global Challenges Teaching Award - Racial Justice will support a pair of teaching faculty 鈥� one at a US HEI, one at a UK HEI 鈥� to co-deliver a virtual exchange programme on racial justice.听

To be eligible to apply, applicants must:

Be currently teaching an undergraduate class that relates to racial justice.听
Be able to demonstrate support of your home institution.听

Rather than creating a new course from scratch, we are asking that an existing class that you currently teach be adapted for co-teaching. Co-teaching with a US or UK counterpart across the Atlantic would take place as a virtual exchange.听
