Teaching Beyond Bias: Creating Inclusive Classrooms and Curricula
Abstract
In this chapter, the author explores the pervasive issue of bias in higher education, both explicit and implicit, and its detrimental effects on the learning environment. Drawing on personal experiences and research, the author illustrates how microaggressions directed at faculty, particularly those of different racial backgrounds, underscore the larger systemic challenges faced by African American educators. The author emphasizes the importance of understanding and differentiating the concepts of diversity, equity, and inclusion while advocating for a curriculum that fosters an inclusive environment. She identifies cultural, racial, and socioeconomic biases in the educational system and provides insights on how these biases manifest in classroom interactions. Ultimately, the author argues that educators must actively engage in practices to confront their biases and create an inclusive curriculum that respects and values diversity, thereby ensuring equitable opportunities for all students.
