The diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) space remains lively in 2024, with an expanding set of stakeholders focused on competing agendas on diversity education at the college level. Political attention has heightened, with state proposals regulating permissible DEI topics and cutting DEI campus funding. Amid this, our university context necessitates faculty to develop inclusive strategies to discuss DEI with students that is aligned with the state’s political reality. Business students must acquire competency in working with and leading diverse teams as a vital business skill. Building off of last year’s well-attended and successful professional development workshop (PDW), this workshop aims to share best practices for DEI classroom discussions, addressing both central challenges and opportunities that exist in today’s climate. Participants will hear from a panel of experts on teaching DEI and participate in small group discussions to help them craft their narrative rationale and personal approach for teaching DEI-related topics. Experienced and new faculty are welcome.
