Ensure that students have a safe and inclusive environ-ment by monitoring for bias, stereotype threat, and micro-aggressions, and correcting these issues if present.
This could be changed to provide a more positive approach - that is to invite and be explicit about asking students what racial bais and systemic inequities are at play in the course and/or course content and concepts.

Consider activity and assessment designs to includes students cultural backgrounds and knowledge.
Digital pedagogy operates through an emerging nexus where the practices and protocols of multiple infrastructures permeate and interpenetrate each other. Routing and navigating the switches and junctures between such systems always requires handling power
Think through what is "handling power".
Just as a classroom infrastructure is shaped and guided by the pedagogical philosophy of the teacher, so too are digital pedagogical spaces structured and designed to foster specific forms of user engagement.
Taking a pedagogical approach to digital infrastructure allows for the possibility for humanizing the digital spaces we create for learning.
You find that where you once heard criticisms or attacks you now hear someone expressing their feelings and needs
This transforms my understanding of criticisms. Its so powerful to examine those criticism and needs not getting met.
He currently serves as a consultant on traditional medical practices to the World Health Organization in Geneva, Switzerland.
Are their current resources that articulate what you've worked on with the WHO?
Explanations of observable phenomena began to shift away from primarily shamanistic and empirical viewpoints, and a new epistemological framework emerged that allowed for a more comprehensive and innovative interpretation of the natural world than had been previously known.
What can we attribute this shift to a new epistemological framework?

I could not agree more. Often new academics or students place scholars on a "pedestal" VC, breaks any barriers created by the illusion of hierarchy.

Name of the workshop?
What is the name of the workshop you attended?
And I would add a place to add "other". Unless that is already inherent to how this will be deployed.
What would you recommend to improve the workshop?
I recommend placing any short answer questions at the end - there is research that states you will get better answers when participants have conceived of all you ask in the multiple choice and can then take this opportunity to expand.
Here at Yale Center for Teaching and Learning we are always looking to improve the quality of our workshops and strive to deliver the best possible service. Your feedback will enable us to identify any areas in need of improving.
Here are my edits:
I suggest using an active voice and keeping it to present tense. It comes off stronger and gives us the appearance of taking full ownership of what we will do. This is a slight change but see how this reads for you:

Shall I now be swept up into the community of digital scholars and regularly engage in meta-level analysis of the world as it could be yet isn’t?
Precisely, I often wonder if I spend to much time in the meta analysis rather than the action oriented doing. Both nourish in different ways.
there is always an aspect of coercion to design
The word "coercion" has historically been a negative word to me - to be coerced is to go against one's will. Many negative examples are presented here - what are positive examples of coercion in design? I lived in Portland, OR for many years and volunteered with the City Repair project whose mission is to "place make". Here are examples of PDX intersections "repairs": http://www.cityrepair.org/intersection-repair-examples/
it’s this pattern of a work reacting to itself and its environment that gives it the spark of life.
I look forward to this new frame to my design work allowing one to capture this precious moment when a design pattern reacts to itself... or perhaps it is too elusive to in fact "capture"?
If you find them as powerful as I do the context will eventually present itself.
I appreciate the invitation to read for emergence & discovery
