Inclusive Teaching: Supporting Undergraduate, Graduate, and Professional Students in Classrooms, Research Labs, and Practical Training Settings In-Person
Issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion are more visible on campuses across the country than in the recent past. Join Khadijah Mitchell, the endowed Peter C.S. d'Aubermont, M.D. Scholar of Health and Life Sciences and Assistant Professor of Biology at Lafayette College, for this special workshop. In line with Montclair State's mission “to provide coordinated, intentional and inclusive, person-centered experiences, services and opportunities that guide and support our students during their major exploration," this workshop focuses on inclusive teaching of undergraduate, graduate, and professional students in classroom, STEM laboratory, and practical training settings, whether in person or online. Based on the best-selling book, What Inclusive Instructors Do, this workshop is designed to build instructor confidence in using inclusive teaching strategies in any learning context.
Honoraria of $100 will be provided for all attendees. Be sure to cancel your reservation one week in advance if you cannot attend to make the opportunity available to others.

Her research program addresses the causes and consequences of cancer health disparities in African Americans for precision prevention and precision medicine purposes. Dr. Mitchell teaches undergraduate STEM courses that intersect with public health, such as Precision Medicine, Public Health Biology, and Molecular Genetics. She integrates research findings from her laboratory into each course, and takes ideas generated in the classroom back to her laboratory for further study. Dr. Mitchell is the recipient of many honors and awards for her research, teaching, mentorship, and service leadership; and uses her expertise to promote both health and education equity.
She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Cancer Institute after concurrently earning her PhD in Human Genetics and Molecular Biology from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, a graduate certificate in Health Disparities and Health Inequality from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, and a graduate certificate in Teaching from the Johns Hopkins Teaching Academy. She received a MS in Biology from Duquesne University and BS in Biology from the University of Pittsburgh.
Professor and Executive Director of the Office for Faculty Excellence, has been at Montclair State University for 25 years. Her areas of research expertise include higher education pedagogy, teaching writing, assessment, and public higher educational practices.
