Over her career in public policy\, Heather has crafted legislation\, testified before Congress and helped shape presidential campaign platforms. Her book The Sum of Us: WhatRacism Costs Everyone and How We Can Prosper Together spent 10 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list and was longlisted for the National Book Award and Carnegie Medal for Excellence in Nonfiction. The New York Times called it\, “The book that should change how progressives talk about race.” and the Chicago Tribune said\, “Required reading to move thecountry forward…”. It is a Washington Post and TIME Magazine Must-Read Book of 2021. The paperback version will be out in February 2022. The Sum of Us will be adapted into a Spotify podcast by Higher Ground\, the production company of Barack and Michelle Obama in June 2022\, and into a young adult readers’ version by Random House Children’s in 2023.\n\nHeather is an educator\, serving currently as a Visiting Lecturer in Urban Studies at the City University of New York’s School of Labor and Urban Studies. She has also held visiting positions at Yale University’s Brady-Johnson Grand Strategy Program andthe University of Chicago’s Institute of Politics. She is the recipient of honorary degrees from Muhlenberg College\, Niagara University\, and CUNY Graduate School of Public Health & Health Policy.\n\nFor nearly two decades\, Heather helped build the non-partisan “think and do” tank Demos\, serving four years as president.Under McGhee’s leadership\, Demos moved their original idea for “debt-free college” into the center of the 2016 presidential debate\, argued before the Supreme Court to protect voting rights in January 2018\, helped win pro-voter reforms in five states over two years\, provided expert testimony to Congressional committees\, including a Supreme Court confirmation hearing in 2017\, and led the research campaigns behind successful wage increases for low-paid workers on federal contracts\, as well as at McDonalds\, Walmart and other chain retailers.\n\nAs an executive\, McGhee transformed Demos on multiple levels. She led a successful strategic planning and rebranding process. She designed a Racial Equity Organizational Transformation which led to an increase in staff racial diversity (from27 percent people of color to 60 percent in four years)\, an original racial equity curriculum for staff professional development and a complete overhaul of the organization’s research\, litigation and campaign strategies using a racial equity lens. McGhee also nearly doubled the organizational budget in four years. A strong coalition-builder and trustedcross-movement leader\, McGhee deepened Demos’ influence through new networks and collaborations inside and outside the Beltway.\n\nAn influential voice in the media and a former NBC contributor\, McGhee regularly appears on NBC’s Meet the Press andMSNBC’s Morning Joe\, Deadline White House and All In. Her 2020 TED talk is entitled “Racism Has a Cost for Everyone”. She has shared her opinions\, writing and research in numerous outlets\, including the Washington Post\, New York Times\, Wall Street Journal\, USA Today\, Politico and National Public Radio. McGhee’s conversation on a C-SPAN program in 2016with a white man who asked for her help to overcome his racial prejudice went viral\, receiving more than 10 million views and sparking wide media coverage that included a New York Times op-ed\, a New Yorker piece and a CNN town hall. Inspring 2018\, Starbucks founder Howard Schultz asked McGhee to advise the company as it designed an anti-bias training for 250\,000 employees in the wake of the unjust arrest of two black men in a Philadelphia store. McGhee wrote a report with recommendations for how Starbucks can apply a racial equity lens to their businesses\, and how other companies both large and small can benefit from doing the same.\n\nMcGhee also played a leadership role in steering the historic Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act\, and was one of the key advocates credited for the adoption of the Volcker Rule.\n\nShe holds a B.A. in American Studies from Yale University and a J.D. from the University of California at Berkeley School of Law\,.

SUMMARY:Critical (re)Engagement: Transformative Teaching and Learning for a ‘New Normal’ | 19th Annual Teaching & Learning Conference at Elon University (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:19th Annual Teaching & Learning Conference at Elon University\nElon University welcomes university and college educators to the 19th Annual Teaching & Learning Conference on Wednesday\, June 7th\, 2023. This free\, fully-virtual conference is sponsored jointly by Elon’s Center for the Advancement of Teaching and Learning (CATL) and Teaching and Learning Technologies (TLT). \nConference Theme: Critical (re)Engagement: Transformative Teaching and Learning for a ‘New Normal\nIn an era of endemic COVID\, higher education finds itself at a precipice of potential\, where we\, as educators\, can redefine the roles of instructor and learner\, rediscover the values that guide our pedagogies and curriculum\, and reimagine learning environments. This work requires space\, time\, and a thoughtful consideration of the collective trauma we have experienced over the last three years. What does our ‘new normal’ look like and how do we ensure that we acknowledge and address the significant inequalities that have been exacerbated over the last three years? This year’s Teaching and Learning Conference envisions exploring\, discussing\, deconstructing\, and rebuilding what it means for us and learners to critically (re)engage in learning. \n
