Teaching through Challenges for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) is a necessary text for any educator committed to integrating EDI goals into their classroom. By addressing the challenges presented by teaching EDI, the authors acknowledge the tensions associated with this work, and offer effective and practical strategies for these challenges. In addition, the authors include topics that enlarge our thinking about EDI, such as the relationship between technology and social action, and ways in which archival research and community engagement can help students to learn about historical and contemporary aspects of literacy. This book is a significant addition to the literature on teaching equity, diversity, and inclusion, and will have a lasting impact on the field. — Lily D. McNair, PhD, President, Tuskegee University
You will find no shortage of actionable practices in Teaching Through Challenges for Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI). It provides a framework for shaking up traditional pedagogical strategies, steadfast in its approach towards promoting EDI within the minds of each individual educator along with higher education as a whole. Each chapter intently navigates the broad charge of migrating beyond the “discipline-specific” identification of EDI goals and challenges to the destination of a broad and comprehensive service approach for the 21st-century student. This book is a great read and will prepare you to transform your practice and alter human behavior!— David N. Turner, SPHR, SHRM-SCP, CCP, Vice President for Human Resources, Eastern Michigan University

Research has proven that the most productive and innovative teams are those who embrace and stimulate diverse thinking strategies.
