Diversity is essential to our personal and professional lives. Yet so many of us shy away from embracing and addressing the full diversity that our university has to offer. In this workshop, we will examine various aspects of diversity within our campus community and explore tools/strategies that can help us create a more inclusive classroom experience for all. So, What’s the DIFF? The DIFF (Diversity & Inclusion Faculty Fellow) is a group of GSU faculty committed to cultivating a community of like-minded colleagues around issues of diversity and inclusion in higher education.

At the CT2 I coordinate Blended and Flipped Learning Initiatives and Faculty Learning Communities. Additionally, I enjoy all conversations on teaching and love to work with faculty on classroom observations, teaching portfolios, or just brainstorming new teaching ideas. When teaching, I like to incorporate a variety of teaching strategies including Reacting to the Past (ask me about it!)

Favorite Book: Flipped Learning by Robert Talbert (2017)
