In this moderated panel discussion faculty from primarily undergraduate institutions will discuss exercises and reforms to physics curricula to directly include diversity and equity topics. Our efforts range from incorporation of individual exercises, to semester-long assignments, and even full courses devoted to structural hierarchies and equity in physics. Panelists will discuss how equity, diversity, and inclusion elements can be incorporated throughout a curriculum, from first year courses to upper level electives. The session will additionally address how efforts through online learning communities can support departmental growth. Faculty will discuss how their online learning community through the American Physical Society Inclusion, Diversity, and Equity Alliance (APS-IDEA) has served as a mechanism for inspiring change in their individual departments.
