Understanding Diversity and Inclusion Dalhousie University

Overview

Educators are being asked to re-examine our own assumptions--about our learners, our course content, our learning settings, and even ourselves. Our collective ability to respond to, and be enriched by, these challenges will determine the success of our adult education practice.
