From the abstract: "In this dissertation, I investigate the current state of Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) in a university writing program as a potential avenue for internationalization. Culturally Responsive Teaching (CRT) is a social-justice-oriented, transformative approach to education that views cultural diversity as a resource, restructuring education settings to affirm students’ identities and home cultures."

"At a University located in the Midwestern United States, the Library maker program collaborated with the Asian American and Asian Resource Cultural Center to make a quilt from printed archival photos, student photos and recorded stories. The result was a “living history” quilt that reflected Asian community and culture on campus. This paper explores diversity in making through collaboration, details of the project process and lessons learned."

From the abstract: "In this paper, [the authors] discuss the point of view of three instructors who teach the integrated courses in the first-year program at Purdue University. The first-year integrated program launched by Polytechnic Institute...combines three departments: English, Communication, and Technology. The instructors representing these departments teach technology students about Design Thinking, Composition, and Communication, thereby providing students an opportunity for designing and developing multimodal compositions geared towards solving global issues via interdisciplinary interactions."

From the abstract: "This paper begins by tracing the role of the Discussion Method within the liberal arts tradition, and by extension the Confucian tradition. Second, this paper examines how the Discussion Method lost its value in higher education as a consequence of the employability problem...Third, this paper reframes the purpose of the Discussion Method in an integrated curriculum for preparing students to achieve personal and professional success..."

From the abstract: "For ten years, Dr. Jill Newton has coordinated the Maymester in Tanzania program and has created a highly successful and compelling program. Her aim for this program was to create a mini Peace Corps experience for Purdue University students, seeing as she has herself served as a Corps member in Papua New Guinea. One of the most impactful and rewarding components of this program is the service learning opportunities she encourages. Purdue University students attending this program have received a total of over $23,000 in service learning grants to date towards bettering the communities they interact with daily while on this culturally immersive experience. Dr. Newton has created a program that not only serves the students participating in the trip through academics and a new cultural environment, but also serving the communities that open their homes to Purdue University for four weeks every May."

From the introduction: "The goals of the columns will be

• To engage readers in a meaningful and intentional conversation around EDI and ask them to reflect on their own practices
• To expose readers to scaffolded social justice concepts as pertinent to serving and teaching people of diverse backgrounds
• To demonstrate the relevance of social justice concepts by providing examples of how they intersect with science librarianship"
