[Air-L] DEI resource possibly for your classes

[Patricia Aufderheide]

Friends and colleagues! Here at American University, we just created a resource to help<https://edspace.american.edu/deicomm365> the endlessly rotating group of folks who teach our intro course (Digital Media & Culture) with teaching materials from diverse voices and on topics reflecting many issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. My colleague Saif Shahin and I created this, with two awesome graduate students, Mariana Sanchez Santos and Marissa Woods.


We know it’s just a beginning, but we’re sharing the public version of it here<https://edspace.american.edu/deicomm365>, in case the template or model would be useful to you, as you face some of the same problems.


Here's the link!

And if you’d like to share feedback and/or ideas for other materials—especially class exercises!!—please write to DEIresourcesAU at gmail.com<mailto:DEIresourcesAU at gmail.com>.



We did this mostly with sweat equity and a small one-time grant, and don’t have money at the moment to keep refreshing it, but we might in the future.
