You are invited to the “Expanding Diversity Perspectives” faculty workshop, which will address pedagogical strategies that foster appreciation for and commitment to honoring diversity, equity and inclusion within and beyond the classroom and studio. The workshop will be led by Dr. Geneva Gay, professor of education at the University of Washington-Seattle, who is nationally known for her scholarship on multicultural education and culturally responsive teaching.
Three goals have been set for the Expanding Diversity Perspectives faculty workshop:
- Increase understanding of the importance of addressing and integrating issues of diversity, equity and inclusion in the education and professional preparation of students.
- Expand knowledge of effective strategies for building community and equity within the classroom/studio.
- Increase integration of the contributions of diverse groups and pluralistic perspectives in course content, class assignments and studio projects.
