Advancing Equity and Inclusion

“The classroom remains the most radical space of possibility in the academy.”

― bell hooks, Teaching to Transgress: Education as the Practice of Freedom

Our CTL conceptualizes inclusive teaching as an umbrella term referring to many equity-oriented pedagogical frameworks, such as Universal Design for Learning, anti-racist pedagogy, and social justice teaching. We offer this guide as a point of entry for instructors seeking to reflect on their teaching process and outcomes and explore new possibilities in teaching.


A Social Justice Approach to Teaching in Difficult Times

Adopt a social justice approach to teaching by integrating trauma-informed practices, creating space for student engagement, and addressing global crises as they impact the classroom. 

Disability Justice In Teaching

Embrace Disability Justice in your teaching to create an inclusive and accessible learning environment that challenges systemic barriers and celebrates disability-inclusive behaviors and teaching. 

Fostering Belonging in Teaching

Cultivate classroom community and belonging through reflective teaching practices, diverse course content, and by affirming values that are personally important to you and your students. 

Gender Justice in Teaching

Advance gender justice in your teaching by employing strategies that acknowledge and support diverse gender experiences, integrating feminist and transgender perspectives to ensure all students feel valued and included.
