Georgetown Launches Resources to Diversify Syllabi and Foster Inclusion in Higher Education

 

The Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (GIWPS) launched a new resource portal on diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) in international affairs education. The DEI portal responds to growing demand from American colleges and universities—often pushed by students and alumni this summer—to revisit and enhance commitments to DEI.
 
The resources for faculty and university administrators include syllabus guides, research summaries, and a list of DEI strategies and plans from American universities. These tools were developed through an initiative led by GIWPS Distinguished Fellow Carla Koppell with support from the Robertson Foundation for Government.
 
The DEI resource portal includes:

  • Syllabus guides: well-cited work by authors from underrepresented communities on topics central to international relations. These guides enable instructors to easily bring a broader range of voices into courses.
  • Research summaries: syntheses of the academic literature on DEI-related issues in curricula, in campus culture, and in the diversity of the faculty, students and staff.
  • University strategy: a list of diversity and inclusion strategies and plans at international affairs and public policy schools across the country.
  • Updates from the University Leadership Council on Diversity and Inclusion in International Affairs Education: deans and directors of top U.S. graduate schools in international affairs and public policy come together to promote diversity and inclusion in graduate studies programs.
