Podcast: Teaching So Everyone Can Learn
Audience
The primary audience is faculty who teach students who have traditionally been marginalized: BIPOC, first generation, low socio-economic status. This series is meant for faculty who care about equity in teaching and learning, and want to enable all their students to realize their goals.
Format
In each episode, Fikayo interviews a different guest, provides an introduction and background information, and asks a series of questions focused on topics related to the guest’s experiences. Episodes are typically 30 minutes. Each episode is promoted through social media with the hashtag #EquityInTeaching.
Host
Fikayo Odugbemi is a learning designer and researcher dedicated to creating equitable and inclusive learning experiences at scale, and her work at New York Tech will be in support of our Title III grant. Guided by the teachings of Paulo Freire, Bettina Love, and bell hooks, she is driven by a deep belief in the transformative power of education. Her values revolve around curiosity, justice, community-first approaches, and participatory practices. Collaboration is at the core of her approach, and she actively seeks opportunities to work with educators and institutional partners to develop frameworks, facilitate workshops, and foster constructive dialogues that drive equity in education. When she’s not working, you can find her at the skatepark desperately trying to land an ollie. Fikayo earned an M.A. in Learning, Design, and Technology from Georgetown University and a BSE in Educational Technology from the University of Ilorin.
