Cultivating Equitable and Inclusive Conversations in Higher Education

This book is a practical guide for educators seeking to facilitate diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) conversations in higher education. More than ever, students expect their learning to address the pressing challenges in our world today. Against the backdrop of growing social justice movements, cancel culture, and deepening polarization, faculty and administrators require effective skills to navigate the strong opinions and emotions that arise when addressing social issues in the classroom and on campus. Authors in this timely volume unpack why DEI conversations are difficult, highlight common missteps when facilitating such conversations, and offer readers practical skills that support robust, inclusive, and meaningful discussions. Featuring real-world examples from educators on the front lines, this book provides actionable tools and practices to cultivate learning environments that foster student engagement, deep learning, inclusion, and a sense of belonging.
