Summary
In higher education, our introductory classes are more diverse than ever. That’s great! Our graduating classes? Less diverse. That’s bad! Faculty play a critical role in this loss of diversity and therefore have a responsibility to address the issue. In this episode, Dr. Viji Sathy and Dr. Kelly Hogan, authors of “Inclusive Teaching: Strategies for Promoting Equity in the College Classroom” (2022), discuss a wide range of evidence-based practices that can help our most challenged, our most diverse students succeed, improving classroom equity. Please listen, then take action!
