ABSTRACT
This chapter argues that anthropology as a discipline is equipped to critically engage with Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI), belonging, and an anti-racist reframing offered in the content of student learning as well as in the frameworks for devising faculty development offerings. It offers a view of curricular issues that lie at the intersection of anthropology and social justice in the undergraduate classroom and in faculty development offerings in a private liberal arts college setting. The chapter is situated from the author’s own practice of engaging with curricular review as a professor and an educational developer co-directing a center for teaching and learning focused on inclusive pedagogy. Looking at the development of a course and a faculty development resource for self-guided reflection, the chapter argues that the promise of anthropology’s role in reshaping the academy towards what is just and equitable lies in our ability to co-create knowledge and the institutional practices that undergird academic cultures.
