This chapter from a University of Virginia handbook gives specific suggestions which can make the classroom more welcoming to people from all backgrounds. Some of the "suggestions" look more like probing questions for reflecting on your own teaching - which is also a good thing! Also available as a PDF at http://trc.virginia.edu/resources/420-2/teaching-a-diverse-student-body-handbook/

Molly Appel describes a strategy she uses to teach students specific critical analysis and close reading skills, allowing them to relate more deeply with diverse texts and the diversity of the classroom. While the examples are from literature, I can imagine the approach being adapted for the reading skills of any discipline.

"Transdisciplinary" work asks students to apply knowledge from diverse fields to a project in an environment which may seem tangential to their academic fields. The model in this article resonates with much that we've heard about community-engaged learning, but it also has implications for any interdisciplinary course.

As we prepare to welcome new colleagues and students, remember that even the simple gesture of showing that you're working hard to learn a person's preferred name makes a big difference.

Joe Murphy on 13 Feb 15

At our ODEI/CIP book discussions, there was a lot of concern about stereotype threat. "Stereotype threat refers to being at risk of confirming, as self-characteristic, a negative stereotype about one's group." This stress has been linked to reduced performance in a number of academic and social areas. Put another way, recognizing and removing sources of stereotype threat can be a good way to create inclusive environments where everyone can succeed.

Instructors of introductory science classes at Kenyon face the dual challenge of historically large class sizes and the nationally low number of minority and first-gen students completing science programs. This article reviews research that makes a strong case for active learning as a more effective way to engage students in larger classes and to significantly improve the performance of disadvantaged students in those classes.

Distressing findings about the correlation between mindset and prejudice. "The more existing professors think some special talent, beyond intelligence and hard work, is required to do their subject well, the lower will be the percentage of PhD students in that subject who are women" or African American. (Hat tip to Alex Wirth-Cauchon, the CIO at Mt. Holyoke, for the link.)
