A virtual workshop and a follow-up book Q&A with Khadijah A. Mitchell and Derek Dube, authors of What Inclusive Instructors Do: Principles and Practices for Excellence in College Teaching
Wednesday, October 19, 2022
1:00 - 3:00pm CDT
Co-sponsored by the Reinert Center and the Office of the Provost
Workshop
Inclusive teaching discussions on campuses across the country are sparking conversations about feasibility, implementation, and actionable efforts. In line with Saint Louis University’s mission and vision, this workshop focuses on student-centered inclusive teaching practices that are applicable to undergraduate, graduate, and professional students. Based on our best-selling book, What Inclusive Instructors Do, we will provide evidence-based and intentional practices from a national inclusive teaching study that can be used in various learning contexts. This workshop is designed to build your confidence in using inclusive teaching practices both now and in the future.
Book Discussion
At the end of the workshop, our facilitators will be hosting a Q & A for their book, What Inclusive Instructors Do. The Reinert Center will give away complimentary copies of the book to the first 20 registrants who indicate that they are interested and will stay to participate in the Q&A.

About the Facilitators
Khadijah A. Mitchell, Ph.D., is the endowed Peter C.S. d'Aubermont, M.D. Scholar of Health and Life Sciences
and Assistant Professor of Biology at Lafayette College. Her research addresses the
causes and consequences of cancer health disparities in marginalized populations.
Specifically, she explores biological, behavioral, and environmental determinants
that drive differences in cancer outcomes. Dr. Mitchell teaches STEM courses that
intersect with public health, such as Precision Medicine, Public Health Biology, and
Molecular Genetics. She integrates research findings from her laboratory into each
class, and takes ideas generated in the classroom back to her laboratory for further
study. Her research, teaching, and service passions lie in both health and higher
education equity. She completed a postdoctoral fellowship at the National Cancer Institute
after concurrently earning her PhD in Human Genetics and Molecular Biology from the
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and a graduate certificate in Health Disparities
and Health Inequalities from the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
She received a MS in Biology from Duquesne University and BS in Biology from the University
of Pittsburgh.
Derek Dube, Ph.D., is an Associate Professor of Biology and Director of the First Year Seminar Program
at the University of Saint Joseph in Connecticut. He teaches courses both in-person
and online, for undergraduate and graduate students, within Biology as well in the
interdisciplinary First Year Seminar and Honors programs. His bench research examines
the microbial community present in the local environment and associated threats to
human health, developing viral detection methods, and exploring the infection pathways
of viruses like Human Papillomavirus. His educational scholarship focuses on equity
and efficacy in higher education. He earned his B.S. in Biology from James Madison
University, his Ph.D. in Microbiology from the University of Virginia, and completed
a postdoctoral fellowship in Infectious Disease at the University of Michigan.
