Idea In looking at the current trends both in education and society, I am

suggesting a topic around diversity, inclusivity, equity in the classroom.
questions we can look at are: 1. how to work with students of different
culture, gender, military, etc 2. what does it mean to work with
students of... 3. how can (how do) we make the curriculum that we are
teaching inclusive 4. what does academic freedom look like for you
(the university create shells for the adjuncts how do they think outside
of the box to bring diversity to the classroom. This could be sharing of
tools) I would add diversity includes students with disabilities as
well.
