Diversity Related Material in the Classroom
FDC Diversity Workshop
Series
Spring 2002
"How to Talk About
Diversity Related Material in the Classroom"
Thursday, April 25, 2002, 12:00 p.m.,
PL44F, Facilitated by Michael Perez
As educators, a challenge many of us face in the classroom involves the
delicate balance of promoting mutually beneficial frank discourse regarding
diversity-related issues in the context of the ever-changing political
and economic climate, and shifting demographics, - issues that tend to
be emotionally charged. How do we create a classroom environment that
"keeps it real" on issues of diversity and inequality, in a
way that sparks the learning process among students with divergent experiences?
This workshop will attempt to grapple with some of these issues, and will
present (and solicit) various strategies to incorporate "diversity-related"
material into the classroom.
