Teaching Diverse Students In a Divided World

Undergraduate and graduate students in sociology courses are diverse in terms of their positionalities, lived experiences, ways of knowing, skill sets, learning conditions, and investment in their learning. In our courses, we examine complex social phenomena that emerge from an increasingly divided world. This session invites discussions of specific teaching strategies and practices that make undergraduate sociology courses accessible to and relevant for diverse students. This session invites discussions of specific teaching practices as well as presentations of ongoing or completed SoTL projects pertaining to the diversity of students in undergraduate and graduate sociology courses.
