Welcome to Good Trouble: Inclusive Pedagogy Web Series

In Good Trouble: Inclusive Pedagogy, we explore groundbreaking approaches to transforming undergraduate education. Season One, Increasing Justice, Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Belonging (JEDIB) within Curricular Spaces, dives deep into actionable strategies for educators, administrators, and institutions striving to create more inclusive and equitable learning environments.

Through dynamic conversations, expert insights, and practical examples, we challenge traditional structures and practices, advocating for pedagogical changes that amplify underrepresented voices, foster community, and promote lasting systemic change. Join us in making “good trouble” for a better, more inclusive future in higher education.
