Description
Physics remains one of the least diverse STEM fields. To meet the growing demand for STEM professionals, it is crucial to adopt inclusive, diversity-friendly teaching practices. This workshop provides practical strategies for physics educators to foster inclusivity in their classrooms. Together with participants we will explore how gender and cultural bias is present in various physics university courses, gaining awareness of how these biases affect students. Through reflection and discussion, attendees will evaluate the inclusivity of their own courses and consider ways to better support a diverse student body.
