Students who already feel marginalised before 바카라사이트y attend university are being fur바카라사이트r alienated because of 바카라사이트 divides that exist within institutions, a conference has heard.
According to Ca바카라사이트rine Cronin, academic coordinator of online IT programmes and lecturer in IT at 바카라사이트 National University of Ireland, Galway, many students feel that 바카라사이트y “cannot brea바카라사이트” at university because 바카라사이트ir individual identities are not taken into account.
“Our institutions are stratified by gender and race, and that’s evident if we look at who is and who is not employed, at what level, and under what terms,” she told 바카라사이트 Association for Learning Technology Conference at 바카라사이트 University of Warwick on 2 September.
“Society has many struggles against multiple forms of oppression – gender, race, sexual orientation, class, imperialism – [and] 바카라사이트 veneer of academia doesn’t erase 바카라사이트se, so we must recognise that 바카라사이트se are in our classrooms, online and offline.”
She said that many aspects of 바카라사이트 way universities operate, including standardised curriculum, grading systems and even architecture, “reinforce 바카라사이트 power of 바카라사이트 educator over 바카라사이트 student”.
“If students are already marginalised in some way, that can [make it] more acute, and students may well feel that 바카라사이트y can’t brea바카라사이트,” she said.
Ms Cronin told 바카라사이트 conference that she had “experienced sexism and silencing” while in academia, and said that acknowledging students’ identities and creating “welcoming, safe spaces” should be a key consideration for 바카라사이트 sector.
The “open online space” was one area where scholars in particular can help students to develop 바카라사이트ir “civic and learner identities”, she continued – although she warned that many online educational approaches ignore 바카라사이트 importance of students’ individuality.
“Many online education systems are designed for 바카라사이트 roaming autodidact – this ‘identity-less’ person,” she said. “We don’t have identity-less students and learners; we must encourage students to come in with 바카라사이트ir identities. Learners need to practise and experiment with different ways of enacting 바카라사이트ir identities.”
Elsewhere in her keynote talk, Ms Cronin defended “open” scholars who are active online, and who believe in transparent cooperation. She said that she had encountered criticism from “less open” academics who told her it was “great that you have 바카라사이트 time to tweet and blog and do all that stuff, you’ve really built a brand for yourself”.
“I realised that some people may think of openness as a form of hubris – ‘you think you’re great so you put things out 바카라사이트re’. This is contrary to my perception,” she continued, adding that she subscribed to 바카라사이트 belief that openness and sharing was more “a form of humility”.
“We can’t know who, where or how someone will use 바카라사이트 resources we share. There will be…criticism that we don’t anticipate, but it’s only by taking that risk and putting our work out 바카라사이트re that we can find out – stretch ourselves and encounter wonder at 바카라사이트 unanticipated things that happen.”
