ABSTRACT

Many books and journal articles focus on teaching diversity and multiculturalism, but often the writer's viewpoint is geared toward addressing pedagogy and learning exclusively from the perspective of the teacher. Rarely does the reader hear from students about their learning experiences within the academic setting. It is even more infrequent that those who teach or do research in diversity hear from former students about how the classroom experience has intersected with their life encounters beyond the course. Thus, we felt it a significant contribution to the diversity arena to edit this volume where the voices of teachers and their students converge around diversity lessons that have been taught, learned, and experienced.
