Description

This panel discussion will continue the conversation about how we can best serve all of our students in the classroom by responsibly including topics of study related to diverse populations. We will also ask how best to attract students from diverse backgrounds into courses on medieval topics, which have much to say on contemporary debates about marginalized groups and images of "the other." Five panelists who have experience teaching to and about a diverse and inclusive classroom will discuss their experiences. Sarah Davis-Secord
