for promoting equity, diversity and inclusion in their classrooms and other learning spaces. They will also describe the successes and challenges that arise during processes of
<i>un</i>learning (for both students and instructors), especially during a pandemic. </span></span><span class="eop"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"> </span></span><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
