<p><em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Dr. Darcy G. Gordon is an Instructor of Blended & Online Learning Initiatives in the Department of Biology, and former postdoctoral associate here at MIT.</span></em>
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Dr. Darcy G. Gordon will discuss how her lived experiences at the intersections of</span></em>
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">privilege and marginalization, specifically gender, race, and disability, have influenced</span></em>
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">her navigation of higher education and current work in digital learning. She will explore</span></em>
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">the ways her experiences in academia have shaped her as a scientist-educator and have</span></em>
<em><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">led to the alignment of her efforts in digital education and inclusive teaching at MIT.</span></em><o:p></o:p></p>
