Title: DEI Beyond the Shadow of Western Science
Presenters: Jurgen Werner Kremer
Description: My motivation to address the “shadow issues of Western science” arises from the continuing anti-racist and DEI-based curricular work the psychology discipline has committed to. I have been involved in rethinking the COR for Psych 1A and participated in the ASCCC convenings on Common Course Numbering. During this process I had to ask myself: Why have I heard BIPOC faculty voice critical concerns about DEI as window dressing? What are underlying scientific worldview issues that get in the way of implementing and anchoring anti-racist and DEI perspectives in deeper ways? Which issues do we as faculty fail to attend to because they are part of the “collective shadow” of modernity/coloniality (Mignolo)?

Title: What I learned at the ‘Artificial Intelligence and Higher Education - Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow’ conference
Presenters: Robert Caruso
Description: The ‘Artificial Intelligence and Higher Education’ conference was an eye-opening experience. The adoption of generative AI has support at the highest levels of the CA Community College system. The CA Community College system has created a ‘Digital Center for Innovation’ for the purpose of supporting Vision 2030; haven’t heard of Vision 2030, neither had I. Some faculty members are anxious and afraid of how AI will affect their jobs. Obsolescence is typically the fate of those who either can’t or choose not to keep up with technology. I learned that even many faculty members who do keep up with AI could find themselves out of a job, replaced by generative AI. Come discuss lessons learned about generative AI and the challenges generative AI presents to everyone involved in higher education.

Title: Strengthening Community Through Applied Improvisation
Presenters: Bess Eiermann
Description: Group improvisation can be a catalyst to powerful and unique relationships. It occurs when a group of people agree to support one another through a process of playful uncertainty. To make that dynamic possible, improvisers must generate goodwill, humor, warmth and a high energy that drives spontaneity. Improvisation is a collaborative art that is manifested through play. Play is at improv's very core. Play heightens one's experience of connectedness to self and to others and reveals fresh, interactive ways of relating with people. We improvise to cooperate with others and watch out for the needs of our community. Playing with consideration and kindness promotes a sense of security and social-emotional connections to others. In this workshop we will experience what applied improv and play is, and how to utilize it to build community and trust in the classroom and work environments.
