The Power of Case Studies for Inclusive Teaching

In designing courses, develop learning goals that get at preparing students to apply the knowledge developed in your class to solving societal problems in an increasingly diverse and changing world. Even if your course content does not easily allow for discussions about social issues, case studies related to your content that reflect issues impacting underrepresented individuals and communities can be transformative.
