Diversity in the Curriculum
Given the realities of race, class, and gender in an increasingly global society, instructors want to ensure that courses and course materials promote inclusion. In order to introduce a range of cultural values into the classroom, instructors are becoming more reflective about the values their content and teaching communicate to the student community. Inclusive college courses strive to enhance and enlighten students’ own history and values, while providing an awareness of others.
Through teaching, faculty have the potential to create experiences in the classroom that both contribute to students’ knowledge of their own historical identity as well as foster greater appreciation for the history, values, beliefs, and cultures of other groups in society.
