Department of Political Studies Policy on Diversity and Inclusion in Teaching
Department of Political Studies Equity Issues Committee (EIC) Recommendations
The Drafting an Equity Statement for your Syllabus policy memo was adopted by the Department of Political Studies in October 2019. Including an equity statement on course syllabi is one of the recommendations of the Equity Issues Committee that can help increase diversity and inclusion in teaching. This memo includes some resources and guidelines that can help instructors.
This resource has been created for the Department of Political Studies as a repository of information relevant to remote teaching and learning that is available across various units at Queen's. Technology tools, instructional videos, and best practices will be shared here. If you require assistance with a particular tool or have questions related to remote course delivery, please reach out to Samantha Martin at pols.officeassist@queensu.ca.
This training resource covers all aspects of Teaching Fellowships in the Department of Political Studies, including: applying for a fellowship, mandatory AODA and health and safety training, offers of employment, contract payment, course content, and other important information.
POLS Anti-Racism Curriculum Revision Tool
The POLS Anti-Racism Curriculum Revision Tool was developed in 2020 by the anti-racism advisor to serve as a reference for course development or revisions, for integrating race and anti-racism as a consideration in curriculum development, ensuring meaningful BIPOC representation on syllabi and fostering an inclusive learning environment. The tool is wide-ranging, allowing instructors to reflect on questions that include everything from how to reflect on the discipline of Political Studies itself to the practical tasks of including more BIPOC voices. Instructors are not required to use this tool, but rather are encouraged to use it to continue to reflect on their courses and teaching.
Resource Bank: Race, BIPOC and Global Perspectives in IR
The Resource Bank: Race, BIPOC and Global Perspectives in IR is a living document, developed as a collaborative initiative between IR Faculty and graduate students in the Department of Political Studies at Queen’s University, as well as collaborators from other institutions.
An onQ course has been created for the Resource Bank: Race, BIPOC and Global Perspectives in IR, accessible only to Queen's students and employees at this time. Enrollment instructions are available here: How to Self Enrol - IR Resource Bank OnQ Course
