Diversity and curriculum

Short Term Goals

  1. Advertise a sample of courses in various departments each term in one or more of the following ways:
I will also work to find a home for these in order to make funding them possible
  1. Add two questions to the general course/professor evaluations. One question would evaluate the professor’s commitment to actively engaging all students equally during class discussions. The other question would evaluate the curriculum’s commitment to offering a broad view of the information presented throughout the course.
  2. [Not yet fully formulated]
Creating a comprehensive outline of a course committed to issues of social identity, social and cultural diversity, and societal manifestations of oppression. I will include a sample syllabus, a resource list, and some teaching issues.

Long Term Goals
**  Getting a course such as the one described above part of the University’s curriculum and eventually making it a required course. Also to find a home for such a course.
**  Working on an outline of a questionnaire that would take inventory of each department’s courses and evaluate their commitment to diversity issues. I envision this as something occurring every few years and facilitating inter-departmental dialog.
