Abstract
How does one design a single course that addresses diverse issues? How does one facilitate learning about global matters for a local community? And how does one teacher speak to the diverse backgrounds and learning styles of his or her students? These questions are especially critical when the instructor sits down to design a multicultural course, one whose readings, assignments, and in-class activities focus on varieties of culture and diverse ethnic experiences. This workshop will comprise a series of presentations aimed at preparing participants to set up and design their own multicultural courses.
