Racial and gender inequities in undergraduate teaching: Findings and concerns

Abstract

As campuses try to reinvigorate undergraduate education, they encourage faculty to rely on educational experiences and promote outcomes much applauded in higher education (e.g., high-impact practices). In this session, participants will learn about racial and gender differences in how much faculty use and emphasize some of these practices and outcomes. Facilitators and participants will discuss implications of the findings, including concerns about equity and the need for institutional planning and faculty development as avenues to mitigate inequity.
