Diversity and Inclusiveness in Our Online Class
Diversity and Inclusiveness in Our Online Class
It is my goal that all students in this course feel they are engaging in an environment in which they can comfortably and productively learn. Throughout this semester, you will be asked to share your writing with others by participating in class discussions and hopefully also virtual study groups. I ask that you engage in dialogue with an open mind, in the effort to share knowledge and create a space of mutual understanding that includes openness and sensitivity to a diversity of voices and ideas. To that end, I want to be explicit that diversity of background (including, but not limited to: race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, age, socioeconomic status, religion, ability) is an asset to all of us. Diversity of voices, of minds, strengthens our ability to read, write and answer questions about the world we all inhabit. If your learning is adversely affected by experiences in or outside of our class, please let me know.
