As an institution that produces and disseminates knowledge, our diversity has the potential to generated unique synergies.
- Where do we currently take advantage of this diversity in our teaching and learning?
- Do we sufficiently valorize the varieties of knowledge our diverse students and instructors bring to the Institute?
- What attitudes and pedagogies are necessary to make our diversity an asset?
- How can our curriculum better build on our diverse knowledges, including those not typically at the center of orthodoxy?
- Can we use our diversity to decolonize our curriculum?
- How can our syllabi reflect this diversity?
- What does a classroom look like that values diversity?
- And how can we benefit from our diversity outside the classroom?
This round table invites the Graduate Institute community to discuss how we can make our diversity an asset. We hope to incubate a variety of ideas that we can integrate into our lives as teachers and learners and that we hope will help redefine what we mean by a diverse institution.
