Aubrey's Outcomes/SMART Goals for the IE3 LCCC LC by Rachel Watson https://padlet.com/rmimwatson/wo3wr4sdl6pjukru 1) Return to your poster from last session and re-immerse in your values, beliefs/beliefs of which you want to let go. Write down one of these that seems central. 2) Being informed by this belief, write a goal that you have for your work in this learning community. 3) Convert your goal to an clear, measurable outcome. 4) Use additional post-its to explain how the outcome meets each criterion for a SMART Goal. en-us 2023-12-07 18:01:41 UTC 2024-04-02 23:15:07 UTC hello@padlet.com SMART GOAL https://padlet.com/rmimwatson/wo3wr4sdl6pjukru/wish/2940931887 Still working on the SMART breakdown here, but I want to spend this time focusing on multimedia materials procuration, out-of-the-classroom learning activities, and syllabus redrafting for two classes in the fall.

Shining light on anthropology for good as a career choice, sharing how applied work in the discipline can be used to support equitable and social justice-rooted initiatives.


Instill in learners the beauty of anthropological methods as tools for empathy, understanding, finding common ground, and change.


Support learners to tether the concepts read in texts to their lived experiences, constantly making and seeing the connections.

It took me A LONG time identify as an anthropologist, or say I was an anthropologist. The discipline itself is rooted in "studying the other" and, in its founding, was used as a tool for colonization. I spent four years of graduate school actively encouraging my professors to change their syllabi to move beyond dead white men's theories. I'd argue for the inclusion of queer/bipoc/underrepresented contemporary scholars, thinkers and artists. One professor listened and changed her syllabus based on my recommendations. I get very, very angry at teaching anthropologists. Especially as they continue to occupy a seat of power and privilege, and do not expose their students to a wealth of literature and thought from incredible folks. It is a huge disservice to learners when educators do NOT teach queer theory in prehistoric archaeology, or share the incredible work of the Society of Black Archaeologists, for example. There was an article in 2019, arguing for the case to let anthropology burn, a battle cry to continue decolonization practices in the discipline. Instead of being angry, which is poisonous, I want to channel that righteous rage into an expansive classroom, expansive syllabus, and supporting expansive ways of thinking for learners.
