Tazin Daniels is an assistant director at the Center for Research on Learning and Teaching at the University of Michigan. She has a doctorate in medical anthropology and her current scholarship focuses on promoting equity and inclusion in teaching and in faculty development. She’s been practicing equity-focused teaching in online environments long before we were figuring out how to teach on Zoom during a pandemic, and she’s deeply committed to helping other instructors reflect on and improve their teaching practices. In our interview, Tazin shares her journey into this work, steps both big and small that faculty can take toward equity-focused teaching, and her vision for the future of educational technology in higher ed.
