Understanding diverse experiences is critical for all students’ deep learning, so take time to select content to support, 促进, and interrogate barriers to inclusion.
Knowledge experts from across disciplines have discovered critical gaps in their disciplines’ advancement and understanding based on 有意识或无意识的排斥 of diverse experiences and perspectives. 无论是研究还是教学, instructors should strive to actively counter disciplinary and other habits of bias through systematic evaluation of course content and pedagogy for diversity in viewpoints, population focus, as well as author identity.
策略
- 审计课程内容 :
- Diversity and inclusion of authors and creators in readings and other course materials, noting gaps and areas of concentration (e.g. 种族、性别、性取向等.) Remain open to changing the texts and materials you assign and the voice you highlight.
- Diversity and inclusiveness of topics, examples, and experiences 除了阅读清单:例如, include diverse examples and perspectives in lecture examples, 幻灯片, 案例研究.
- 象征主义 in readings and examples: diverse materials should have relevance to your course and not serve as token representatives of particular groups or cultures.
- Acknowledge systemic inequities –and the power and privilege that attend them in our disciplines, 劳动力, and global society–when introducing content.
- Use intentional course design to make visible and address these inequities, and to interrogate historical consciousness and assumptions.
- Critically evaluate texts for assumptions, 刻板印象, and missing perspectives and bring these elements to students’ attention.
- Highlight contributions made by diverse voices to the field to further 促进 inclusion. Avoid marginalizing non-dominant voices by highlighting and discussing homogeneity when it occurs.
- Invite guest speakers with diverse experiences and differing backgrounds.
- Avoid assuming familiarity with cultural references (for example, 黄蜂或少女), understanding that few cultural references are widely shared, and that assuming shared references undermines the confidence of those who do not grasp the reference.
- Offer students choices of resources so that they can work with those that they find most relevant to them.
It’s important not only to include diverse content but also to make students aware of that diversity. Talk with students about some of the choices you made and your rationale.
- Discuss the implications of any gaps or scarcity of diverse perspectives in your field in class.
- Consider adding a diversity statement to your syllabus, explicitly conveying the message that you welcome diverse perspectives
- Make the diversity of your examples visible to students. Incorporate pictures of authors or creators of materials on your syllabus, 课程安排, 和讲座, or try a visualization tool like a StoryMap. For ways to help students see diversity in their course materials, see 教授. Jeffrey Gonzalez’s syllabus for ENG 300 举个例子.
- Consider the tone of your syllabus as well. 看到 预热教学大纲 为策略.
- 利用课程资源. 看到 所事, curriculum developed using materials from the 1619项目 作者:扎基亚·阿里(霍华德大学), so三亚·琼斯(霍华德大学), Marco Sanchez (Little Red Elisabeth Irwin School), and Blanca Elizabeth Vega (十大博彩推荐排名州立大学).
Implementing these strategies will help you to create a more inclusive and welcoming environment for all your students, regardless of their background or identity.
