Captures the complexities of teaching diversity

This book provides faculty with powerful narratives through which they can construct their own narrative of teaching. Creatively edited, Teaching Diversity provides the reader with real life experiences of 21 management faculty who honestly discuss the challenges they experience in teaching about controversial and complex issues of identity and diversity. They also candidly speak about their own experiences, some as faculty of color, navegating student resistance and expectations. Novice teachers will gain insight from the stories of experienced faculty. Sometimes poignant, sometimes hilarious, this easy to read book will not bore.
