Abstract:   Faculty members are familiar with the norms for discourse in their respective disciplines and, to a lesser degree, about teaching. However, many faculties have not been exposed to the added-value that the incorporation of diversity can bring to teaching, learning and research. In this interactive workshop, Dr. James A. Anderson will explore the systematic use of powerful pedagogies as key elements in preparing the CSUDH community to become a learner-centered laboratory for using diversity and globalization strategically to effect long-term change.
