Diversity & Inclusion in a US Context by DA Global | Aug 21, 2018 | Fundamentals, International Students Diversity & Inclusion in a US Context As international educators, how do we work with inbound international & exchange students to facilitate meaningful global exchanges across the full range of diverse perspectives represented on our campuses in the US? To this end, we must consider the intersection of diversity & inclusion in global education in our efforts to support incoming international students in their transition to our US campuses. Utilizing an intersectional approach, this session will provide a “train-the-trainer” toolkit to help with the facilitation of conversations around campus climate and US perceptions related to systemically marginalized social identities. Participants will engage in workshop-style activities that can be adapted for use with colleagues and students. Facilitators will provide tangible resources and tools to utilize when supporting international students across various identities throughout the college experience. Download Presentation
