Abstract
In a time where higher education institutions seek to be more culturally responsive (CR), inclusive pedagogies are needed to respond to the diversification of higher education. Although faculty are seeking training, many institutions need specific systems, support services, and new practices that will assist in facilitating pedagogically inclusive practices. This chapter discusses the current practices, challenges, and culturally responsive teaching directives needed to foster inclusive learning spaces. Building on previous research and Muñiz's (2020) competencies, this chapter offers foundational directives and capacities on effective ways to adopt and implement inclusive practices. Specifically, the roles of positioning cultural competency with cultural humility, embracing cultural humility, understanding intersectionality, and adopting a liberatory pedagogy are explored. Offering details of important pillars to position culturally responsive teaching (CRT), the chapter offers a sample application to a key academic disposition, sense of belonging.
