About the Session
Are you interested in open pedagogy and teaching practices supporting social justice? Join this webinar to learn from a study examining faculty experience using open pedagogy to support social justice in their online classes.
While open pedagogy is often assumed to support social justice, this is not always the case. This webinar will provide insights on how faculty members at a B.C. post-secondary institution conceptualize social justice and how they put it into practice. Participants will also learn about a social justice-informed model of open pedagogy.

This session will be recorded, archived, and shared.
