Remixing Teaching - Decolonizing the Syllabus with Yvette DeChavez

Remixing the Humanities

We're thrilled to be talking with the "Decolonize Your Syllabus" founder Yvette DeChavez! Yvette talks to us about her background as a Latinx student in academia, and how that impacted choices she made as an instructor when it came to de-centralizing whiteness in her curriculum. We also talk about the difference between "diversify" and "decolonize," how white faculty often pass the "empathy burden" on to their colleagues of color, and how to apply decolonization ideals not just to readings, but to assignments as well.
You can find more about Yvette at her website, https://yvettedechavez.com/, as well as on her social media accounts on Twitter and Facebook.
