Universities and Colleges are complex, diverse, and multidimensional spaces for teaching, learning, and working. This year’s Blackboard Jungle Symposium (BBJ 12) is designed for UVM faculty, staff, and all others wanting to participate in critical conversations, construct new and promising inclusive practices, and foster conversational spaces where intellectual diversity, equity, and the free exchange of ideas are enabled, appreciated, and valued. The Symposium is a collaborative opportunity to engage in new learning and contribute to an open, civil exchange of ideas, perspectives, and beliefs that will foster transformative leadership and social justice in the classroom and the workplace.
