 This workshop from the Global Health Education and Learning Incubator at Harvard University is an introduction to how Harvard undergraduate students identify and how their identities intersect with power dynamics in the classroom. Facilitated by Undergraduate Pedagogy Fellows from the Bok Center for Teaching and Learning, the workshop examines various levels of oppression, with a focus on instructors' interactions with students on the interpersonal level. Low socioeconomic status is explored as a case-study: how can low socioeconomic status interact with academic norms to affect students’ performance, engagement with material and section, and attendance? The framework used to explain what happens in the case of socio-economic status can be extended to a number of other aspects of student identity.

 The workshop ends with a facilitated discussion which aims to ensure that participants walk away with insights into the Harvard undergraduate experience and a framework for understanding these complex issues in the classroom. This workshop will be especially beneficial for teaching fellows teaching undergraduates virtually for the first time, as we navigate the best ways to support and learn from each other in these unprecedented times.
