Freedom Dreaming New Possibilities in Undergraduate Biology Education

In 2002, author Robin D.G. Kelley published the book "Freedom Dreams," examining the efforts of various social movements across the African Diaspora. In this text, Dr. Kelley posed the questions:

“How do we produce a vision that enables us to see beyond our immediate ordeals?”
“How do we transcend bitterness and cynicism and embrace love, hope, and an all-encompassing dream of freedom, especially in these rough times?”

Expanding the Boundaries of the Classroom

As educators, we expand the reach of our classrooms when we create inclusive and welcoming environments that invite students to apply their learning in novel ways. Our evidence-based teaching strategies allow students to scaffold their learning and see deep connections between different organizational levels and subfields of biology. Not only do we strive to create meaningful learning experiences within the classroom, but our scholarship and service shape our students’ broader educational experiences.
