Whether you are taking small steps towards diversity awareness or reworking your entire course for social change, the syllabi listed below can walk you through the process.
Even if you do not see any syllabi from your field in this collection, you may still be able to find useful references from other disciplines.
As an introduction, we recommend the University of Minnesota's syllabus tutorial. The article A Syllabus' Worth of Difference gives further examples of ways that faculty have reworked their syllabi to express their commitment to inclusive teaching. We also recommend that you refer to your own institution's policies regarding syllabi.
This collection, a collaborative project between CIRTL and the National Women's Studies Association, emphasizes gender issues. We welcome contributions that address other areas of diversity. Submissions can be sent by e-mail to diversity@cirtl.net.
Our site is divided into the following five categories:
-
Featured Courses, Departments of Chemistry. These innovative syllabi combine Chemistry with inclusive course design. Some "before and after" examples are included.
-
STEM Courses which have been changed to reach students from underrepresented groups more effectively.
-
Interdisciplinary Courses which include diversity-related social science content. The syllabi contain many ideas that can be integrated into other science courses.
-
Social Science Courses which provide insights into diversity issues in STEM disciplines. Although cultural barriers often separate these fields from STEM, research shows that STEM students can benefit from learning social science perspectives.
-
Other Syllabi Collections on the Web.
