| Publisher Description: With a steady range of specific examples of how to create more culturally inclusive pedagogies persuasively supported by faculty testimonies of pleasure at how students are more engaged, no one can pretend it can't be done in their courses. The moving quotes from students threaded throughout the book should prick the conscience of those immobilized into only one form of teaching. Faculty need only to listen to students in this book--and in their own classes--to realize the transformative possibilities they can unleash in their classrooms.--Caryn McTighe Musil, Senior Scholar, AAC&U Co-published with NISOD |
