LibGuides: ACRL EBSS Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI): Helping Instructors Integrate EDI in the Curriculum

Helping Instructors Integrate EDI into the Curriculum

EBSS members have various opportunities to help instructors recast course materials in ways that incorporate social justice perspectives:

One-on-one instructional consultations.
Administrative committees focused on curriculum.
Campus social justice and anti-racism teaching groups.
Guides to resources.
Faculty development workshops.

The resources below offer ideas and intellectual fuel for promoting EDI through these venues.
