Assessing Anthropology Students’ Adoption of Cultural Relativism
Chera, Madeline. 2019. “Judging Non-Judgement: Assessing Anthropology Students’ Adoption of Cultural Relativism,” 20th Annual Midwest Conference on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning, Indiana University South Bend, South Bend, IN, April 2019.
A PhD student at University of Cincinnati recently invited me to speak at an exciting program they have in the College of Arts and Sciences there. From what I understand, it's a course that's focused on Public Careers, which are contrasted with academic careers.
All my courses incorporate significant utilization of technology, and I have pedagogical and practical training in teaching online. I am eager to expand my digital engagement with students and apply what I know about teaching with technology on a larger scale.
I am currently conducting SoTL research based on data I collected in my Culture & Society courses during AY 2018-2019. This IRB-approved study focuses on the mechanisms through which students come to challenge their ethnocentrism and internalize cultural relativism.
I am trained and experienced as a Food Studies academic, but did you know I have had a number of other jobs in local food systems?
