Creating an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Statement
Spring 2021
More Details
This workshop will focus on creating an Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) Statement to communicate and promote inclusive teaching practices. An EDI statement conveys one’s values, commitment, and future plans for fostering equity, diversity, and inclusion. An EDI statement on course syllabi sets the tone for what students can expect in your classroom, assignments, and feedback as well as in your discipline. The EDI statement is often a requirement in application and hiring processes. Participants are encouraged to review their teaching philosophy and research statements prior to attending.
This workshop will be of interest to both faculty and graduate students.
You will receive a Zoom meeting link the day before the workshop.

If you're looking for some just-in-time training or want to dig a little deeper into a specific topic of interest, MTSU subscribes to both Teaching Professor ("reflects the changing needs of today's college faculty and the students they teach") and Academic Leader ("reflects the evolving needs of academic deans, department chairs and heads, program directors, and others with leadership responsibilities") online publications. If attempting to access either publication off-campus, you'll be asked to enter your MTSU credentials.
If you have an idea for a potential future workshop, please feel free to send your suggestions to Dr. Lando Carter.
