Cornell Programs

Teaching and Learning in a diverse classroom is a four-week, instructor-paced online course for anyone with teaching responsibilities at Cornell, at any level of diversity expertise. Modules explore strategies for inclusive course design, social identity and self-reflection, and pedagogical practices that effectively support student engagement and a sense of belonging across difference.

Faculty Institute for Diversity focuses on developing inclusive pedagogies that support co-learning, power-sharing, and dialogue practices.

Building Connections with Dialogue (Intergroup Dialogue Project), offers participants a variety of tools, processes, and frameworks to develop more equitable and effective educational strategies, and integrate dialogue into a range of experiences with colleagues and students.

Cornell’s Department of Inclusion and Workforce Diversity, in collaboration with the Department of Organizational Development and Effectiveness and Professor Joseph Margulies, Professor of Law and Government in the College of Arts and Sciences, hosted programs on anti-racism. Course content can be downloaded through CULearn.

Urban Policing: What's underlying the tension between black communities and police departments?

Hosted by Professor Joseph Margulies, Professor of Law and Government, Cornell College of Arts and Sciences

The relationship between police and urban communities has a long history fraught with hostility and resentment that periodically explodes into episodes of anger and rage. But the best police leaders recognize the impact policing has had on communities of color and are trying to transform that relationship. In this talk, we will try to explain the root of anger and discuss the prospect of change.
