Ungrading as a Decolonial Practice

September 17, 12:00pm - 1:15pm
Mānoa Campus, Kuykendall 106 Events Room

This workshop explores the practice of ungrading not only as a way of returning the intrinsic joy of learning to students but also as a way of “unsettling” the university. Professor Karen Jolly presents examples from her recent experiments in undergraduate classrooms intertwining: Ungrading: students self-assess their learning according to a rubric and in response to instructor feedback A Sense of Place in Hawaiʻi: using Indigenous knowledge systems to subvert the modern western model of education Ungrading is a quintessential tool for decolonizing the academy from the grassroots, even while systemic change to the university is slow to come. Participants will have an opportunity to flip their own courses’ Student Learning Outcomes into an ungrading rubric as well as consider ways to appropriately apply concepts and practices in our Native Hawaiian Place of Learning.
