Philosophy of Diversity Statement
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are integral to my teaching, learning, and community-building approach. A diverse blog and podcast enriches the learning experience for all audiences and prepares them to thrive in an interconnected and complex world. As an educator, I am committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment that celebrates and respects the diversity of my audience.
To achieve this goal, I strive to incorporate EDI principles into all aspects of my teaching practice, including pedagogy, assessment, and engagement. I am mindful of how my identity and positionality may influence my content. My content promotes a culture of openness, empathy, and self-reflection. Diversity encompasses multiple dimensions: race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, ability, age, religion, and socioeconomic status. Therefore, I am committed to creating a creative environment that is inclusive and accessible to all audiences, regardless of their background or identity.
My content aims to foster a sense of belonging and mutual respect among all audiences. I encourage active, collaborative learning that promotes critical thinking, creativity, and empathy. I incorporate various teaching methods and resources that reflect the diversity of perspectives and experiences within and outside the content I create. I also recognize the importance of ongoing assessment and feedback to ensure that my content is responsive to my listeners' and readers' needs and goals.
Finally, diversity and inclusion are ongoing and evolving processes that require continuous learning and engagement. Therefore, I am committed to ongoing professional development, collaboration with colleagues, and engagement with the broader community to advance EDI principles and create positive change in our world. I am excited to contribute to the vibrant and diverse community of podcasting and blogging to learn from and with my audience.
