Equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are essential values in creating a welcoming environment for every student, faculty member and employee, and are pivotal to improving college outcomes. There are many ways higher education institutions can promote EDI. One way to enact meaningful change is to examine the pedagogical practices and curriculum resources in classrooms and degree programmes to ensure they include multiple perspectives. Are we promoting diverse voices? What perspectives are missing from our course content and discussions? Campus leaders and hiring committees are asking that faculty not only become familiar with issues relating to EDI but actively integrate these values into their teaching. Students are increasingly aware of the need for this within the curriculum, and they expect to learn from diverse sources.
