Breaking the Barriers: Teaching Diversity in a Predominantly White University in a Rural Community

Friday, October 25, 2024
12:30 PM – 1:00 PM CT
Location: KC Convention Center, Poster 3A
Teaching diversity n a predominantly white university in a rural community can be challenging due to the students' limited lived experience and lack of resources. The study identifies how to diversify students’ learning experiences inside the classroom and beyond and takes advantage of institutional collaboration to turn thoughts into actions.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Participants will obtain the knowledge of pedogogies inside classroom and beyond in expanding students' learning experience in diversity and oppression.
  2. Participants will learn how to seek institutional support and collaborate with other units on campus in advancing students' experiential learning, such as the DEI/JEDI Center on campus.
  3. Participants will learn about the Tolerance Scale and use it to assess student's learning before and after the semester.
