Description
Canadian universities are becoming increasingly ethnoculturally diverse as a result of immigration and increasing enrolment of international students. Without any doubt, such profound changes have important implications for teaching in higher education. This workshop examines challenges facing educators in teaching in culturally diverse classrooms and explores possible approaches for developing inclusive pedagogical practices.
Shibao Guo is associate professor in the Faculty of Education. His research, teaching, and graduate supervision fall in the areas of citizenship and immigration, adult and lifelong education, social justice and equity in education, and comparative and international education. He is author of Cultural Diversity and Inclusive Teaching (with Z. Jamal, 2007, Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education).
