The Higher Education Anti-Racist Teaching (H.E.A.R.T.) Podcast focuses on elevating our learning about antiracist teaching at colleges and universities. In this podcast, we explore what antiracist teaching in higher education is, what it entails, what challenges educators face, and any advice our guests can give our audience in their antiracist teaching journey. The podcast is co-hosted by Dr. Milagros Castillo-Montoya, and doctoral students Omar Romandia and Truth Hunter. With a strong commitment to centering the learning of BIPOC students, they ask questions of their guests to deepen conceptions about antiracist teaching as well as advance teaching practices that align with antiracist tenets. The podcast is supported by the Office for Diversity and Inclusion and the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at the University of Connecticut.

In this episode of the H.E.A.R.T. Podcast, Dr. Bryan Dewsbury joins Dr. Milagros Castillo-Montoya and Omar Romandia to explore the critical role of trust and belonging in equity-minded teaching. Drawing from his co-authored book, The Norton Guide to Equity-Minded Teaching, Dr. Dewsbury shares practical strategies for moving beyond transactional teaching models to create humanizing and inclusive learning environments.
He challenges the “tyranny of coverage” in curriculum design, advocating for a shift from rote memorization to critical thinking, dialogue, and skills development. This conversation offers actionable insights to help educators build trust, foster belonging, and create classroom spaces where all students can thrive.
Join us for this thought-provoking discussion on transforming teaching practices to support meaningful student engagement.
