Title: Exploring Partnerships: Deficit Perspectives vs. Cultural Wealth around Transnational Faculty
Description: Centering on the partnership between transnational faculty and non-transnational faculty, this presentation explores deficit views and the cultural wealth of Others, offering insights into teaching and learning. By applying an interdisciplinary approach and drawing from communication scholarship and beyond, this session fosters conversation around the problems of speaking for Others and the possibilities of speaking with Others.
Since these concepts are directly applicable to both classroom settings and broader campus environments, this session encourages educators to shift their perspective from viewing differences as obstacles to recognizing them as strengths in academic spaces. It aims to contribute to the broader conversation on fostering a campus community that embraces a dynamic and inclusive learning and teaching environment—one where both students and faculty members, particularly those often ascribed or avowed as Others, can engage meaningfully and contribute fully.
Dr. Emi Kanemoto is a 2024-2025 Scholarship of Teaching and Learning Scholar (SoTL Scholar)
