=== Diversity, equity, justice, and inclusion ===
=== Diversity, equity, justice, and inclusion ===


I am firmly committed to advancing equity, justice, and inclusion through my teaching and other professional activities. As an instructor, I strive to create an inclusive environment that accommodates diversities in experiences, perspectives, abilities, identities, and beliefs (among other forms of diversity). By encouraging a multiplicity of perspectives, experiences, and points of view to exist in the work of our classes, everyone’s education will be enriched. At the same time, I am cognizant of various forms of privilege and power that I or others may bring into the classroom and I acknowledge that these inequalities can shape learning experiences in sometimes adverse ways. The content covered in this syllabus and beyond in our broader curriculum is intended to be respectful of diversity: gender, sexuality, disability, age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, race, and culture.

In the classroom, I will work to address and challenge these and other forms of oppression and injustice. I am eager to support students using the course as an opportunity to do the same. Each member of our class has something of value to contribute and students are therefore encouraged to communicate and participate during class meetings. We must take care to respect the individual backgrounds, personal identities, intellectual approaches, and demographics expressed by everyone.
