Overview

Based on the existing DPD Academy, this new pilot program offers graduate students the opportunity to engage with contemporary, multidisciplinary scholarship on difference, power, and oppression; critical pedagogies; and curriculum transformation. This program will provide graduate students who are current DPD course instructors or teaching assistants in DPD courses with a baseline of knowledge about theories of systemic inequities and intersectionality through the examination of how issues of difference, power, and oppression play out in their disciplines, and introduce graduate students to pedagogical tools to teach DPD courses through a critical pedagogical lens. The DPD Graduate Student Academy will be facilitated by DPD Postdoctoral Scholar, Dr. Kali Furman. 

Eligibility 

While this program is open to all OSU graduate students, priority will be given to those graduate students who are current DPD course instructors or teaching assistants in DPD courses, or who are scheduled to teach such a course in the future. If there is sufficient room in the program, we will make space for additional graduate students who are interested in completing the Graduate Student DPD Academy.

Stipend

All participants who complete the Graduate Student DPD Academy will recieve a stipend from the DPD Program.
