Oluremi “Remi” Alapo

Hi my name is Remi Alapo. I have been an adjunct at BMCC for the past 6 years. I teach African History from 1500 – the present [AFN 122], History of African Civilizations [AFN 121], Afro – American History from 1865 – present [AFN 124], and Black Women in the Diaspora [AFN 128] at the Ethnic and Race Studies Dept at BMCC [previously I was with the Social Sciences dept and taught courses in sociology and political science].

I previously created some OER resources while I was teaching in Social Sciences out of concern for the pockets of my students and for low-income students who struggle to make it to class every day leaving challenges outside of the University doorstep to not worry about picking up those challenges on their way out. This winter, a colleague of mine [in Mexico] and myself are working on a paper on the impact of the Covid – 19 pandemic on low-income female students so I have not had the time to watch or read anything fun besides trying to finish the paper.  Looking forward to learning from and working with my colleagues in this OER Winter 2023 seminar.
