LibGuides @ Antioch University: Inclusive Course Design: Welcome to Inclusive Course DesignWe are your fellow faculty who are invested in shifting the way we do what we do—how we think about our pedagogy, practices, the details of our courses, and how reframing our syllabi can help us work toward a new consciousness.

This guide has been developed as a resource for faculty who are just beginning to think about inclusive pedagogy as well as those more advanced in the process of decolonizing their courses. This work for faculty is never done, but rather an ongoing commitment to continue looking at our curriculum and learning environment through a lens of inclusion. We also realize that this learning takes time, so there is no need to do everything at once. Wherever you are in the process of rethinking your courses, find whatever in this guide can support your development and take advantage of opportunities for engaging in this work with colleagues. Our collective work can help us move Antioch University toward being the anti-racist and inclusive learning environment our mission dictates.
