Teaching Academy Book Club: Register now, chance for free book

Free copies of the book, “Equity and Inclusion in Higher Education: Strategies for Teaching,” will be available to the first 50 online registrants for the system-wide, second Teaching Academy Book Club starting this fall.

The club will have meetings at multiple times, in-person and via Zoom, to make discussions as available as possible to everyone. Two implementation workshops are also planned to help participants use ideas from the book in classes.

In spring 2024, the academy will present an award for innovative and successful efforts to put book concepts into action.

Free, downloadable e-copies of the book are available from the WSU Libraries.

Published in 2021, “Equity and Inclusion in Higher Education” editors are Rita Kumar and Brenda Refaei. They will be keynote speakers at the Teaching Academy’s annual TEACHxWSU set for Oct. 20. Registration for that event will open in fall.

For answers to questions about the book club or the free copies of “Equity and Inclusion in Higher Education,” Whitman said to email academy members and book club co-chairs Phillip Morgan or Blythe Duell.
