Today’s college students are diverse in race, gender, national affiliation, age, economic background, sexual orientation, religious affiliation, educational background, and many more factors.  Effective college instructors are prepared to teach diverse student bodies, including students who do not share their individual experience.  

This course will address teaching practices to promote inclusion and equity and will also address related, current topics in higher education. This course is for anyone interested in 1) creating more inclusive learning environments, 2) teaching students from diverse backgrounds more effectively, and 3) exploring individual instructional biases.
