About Learning through Diversity

Faculty and students bring an array of experiences, backgrounds, and skills to the teaching and learning process. Effective teaching capitalizes on these rich resources to the benefit of all, which we call “Learning-through-Diversity.” At the same time, CIRTL recognizes the reality that existing social and educational practices do not always promote equal success for all learners. Thus, creating equitable learning experiences and environments requires intentional and deliberate efforts on the part of present and future faculty.  Learn more about Learning-through-Diversity.

Derek Bruff will be facilitating a diversity workshop here at Vanderbilt on Feb. 22.  This workshop is co-hosted by the CFT and CIRTL. Derek will be  using some unusual books as the jumping off point for the discussions.  We hope this is the first of a series of these diversity-based workshops.
