Project Summary

This proposal requests funding to support a three-part project to develop resources for applying inclusive pedagogies and integrating equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in teaching and learning contexts in the UBC Sauder School of Business. This proposal is consistent with the TLEF Priority Focus Area of Inclusion and UBC’s Strategic Plan’s focus on Equity and Inclusion. The first part of the project will focus on conducting an EDI course audit at Sauder. The second part will focus on developing resources and training for faculty on engaging with diversity, building capacity, and enhancing inclusion. The third part will focus on follow-up measurements and tracking outcomes. We expect that this will lead to increases in instructor capacity and comfort with EDI in the classroom, use of inclusive pedagogy in classes, integration of EDI content in classes, as well as enhanced learning experiences and feelings of inclusion among students across UBC Sauder programs.
