ABSTRACT

Entering at a critical time in the national dialogue on higher education and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), this edited book presents case studies from six institutions that have successfully enacted curricular change.

Pulled from research, state, private, and small colleges as well as various regions of the United States, these case studies cover a range of approaches, including faculty-driven and institution-wide processes, aimed at engaging the entire campus, as well as efforts at the classroom and disciplinary level. Accompanying chapters overview the work, exploring themes and best practices, discuss the current political climate, and offer cutting-edge research on assessment in DEI.

An inspiring and practical read for higher education faculty, leaders, and practitioners, this book demonstrates that curricular change is an achievable, worthwhile, and urgently necessary pursuit.
