**Call for Proposals**
Ethics of Pedagogy
Speaker Series 2019-20
Centre for Ethics, University of Toronto

Applications Due: Monday, September 9, 2019 

The Centre for Ethics is hosting a speaker series on the Ethics of Pedagogy. We invite proposals for talks, trainings, or workshops on how to make our classrooms accessible to equity seeking groups. These groups include (but are not limited to): students with disabilities, lower-income students who work several jobs, students who have experienced sexual assault or other trauma, students of color who have traditionally been excluded from the academy, and immigrants for whom English is a second language. In addition to focusing on diverse groups, we also hope to cover a range of different issues that arise in the classroom—from laptop use, to assignment design, to leading class discussions, to developing a more inclusive syllabus. The talks will take place in the Centre for Ethics approximately once a month, usually on a Thursday from 4-6 pm.

We are looking for proposals that combine theory and praxis. Each talk, training, or workshop should feature some ideas for concrete changes that could be implemented in the classroom, as well as some discussion of ethical issues that justify or arise from the proposed changes. If you are interested in applying, please email the following information to Emma McClure (emma.mcclure@mail.utoronto.ca):

1. Name
2. Email Address
3. A short (2-4 sentence) description of your proposed talk, training, or workshop

We welcome applications from graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, faculty, or staff. Please share widely with your networks (PDF version of call for applications).
