The ISU College of Design will host this workshop to address pedagogical strategies that foster appreciation for and commitment to honoring diversity, equity and inclusion within and beyond the classroom and studio. The workshop will be led by Geneva Gay, professor of education at the University of Washington-Seattle, who is internationally known for her scholarship on multicultural education and culturally responsive teaching.

The workshop is intended to increase understanding of the importance of addressing issues of diversity, equity and inclusion in the education and professional preparation of College of Design students; expand knowledge of effective strategies for building community and equity within the classroom/studio; and increase integration of the contributions of diverse groups and pluralistic perspectives in course content, class assignments and studio projects.

Building on her Friday evening lecture, Dr. Gay will detail the practice of culturally responsive teaching and guide faculty in generating ideas for the courses they teach. To register, email Mark Chidister,
