What ITP/IMA Professors Say
“Working with Divya was a great experience - the syllabus for the class was one which had undergone many iterations over the years, with several faculty adding to it, so it was nice to have the opportunity to review it with fresh eyes, and especially through the lens of equity and inclusion. I came away with a few new references to add to the course materials, and overall appreciated talking through the underlying assumptions of the course.”
Sarah Rothberg
Assistant Arts Professor
“Designing a syllabus can be a lonely process. However, it can be different with ESP! I worked with a student researcher to find more example projects and readings by underrepresented groups to include in my syllabus. On top of practical help from the student researcher, it was a good opportunity for me to be more intentional and conscious about including diverse voices and role models in my course. More than others, I felt supported throughout the process!”
