MSI Consortium - Diversity, Equity and Inclusion in Teaching IB
Date
Thursday, February 23, 2023 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Description
Diversity, equality, and inclusivity (DEI) concepts are gaining a critical role in teaching. DEI is particularly topical for International Business (IB) studies that are explicitly interested in managing and benefiting from various market, firm, and individual differences. But how to ensure that diversity goes hand in hand with equality and inclusion in IB teaching methods and content?
The webinar will take a critical view on DEI in IB education discussing inclusive teaching practices, diverse materials to be adopted in the classroom, and teaching DEI as a topic in IB programs. The webinar takes a broad view on DEI (considers diverse abilities, socio-economic status, religion, age, sexual orientation, etc.) and therefore will go beyond traditional diversity dimensions such as gender or race.
The webinar will shed light on some simple ways of putting DEI principles into practice when teaching IB and DEI topics in IB programs. Moreover, webinar will explain how DEI issues link with the social sustainability and the pressing need to adopt Sustainable Development Goals in the IB curriculum.
This is a free webinar, but registration is required.
