Abstract

The second decade of the 21st century highlighted the complexity of teaching remotely while in the midst of not only a global pandemic, but also an enduring racism crisis. Influenced by the socio-cultural milieu, online classrooms can be seen as microcosms of the broader society. Consequently, educators have felt the burden of grappling with multiculturalism and diversity within their classrooms and institutions; this can be especially difficult when teaching online. Since online classrooms do not operate within a vacuum, it is important to understand how the societal context can impact students' perspectives on multiculturalism and diversity. Examining multiculturalism and diversity through the lens of the student can help educators better serve their online learners.
