A collection of nineteen essays by an ad-hoc committee of faculty at Colorado State University-Fort Collins, Teaching Diversity surveys a host of attitudes towards, and responses to, diversity's meanings and implications for the modern college classroom.
The authors approach the topic from such fields of study as natural resource management, philosophy, world religions, social work, English, school administration, and data analysis, to name a few. This variety of perspectives underscores their mutually held belief that a careful consideration of diversity issues is relevant even when it is not the primary discipline under study.
The essays are also informed by widely differing social and historical backgrounds, and minority voices comprise a substantial portion of the text. Well-rounded and inclusive, Teaching Diversity is an invaluable aid to teachers and learners looking to broaden their outlook on this increasingly important subject.
