Teaching diversity: Experiences and recommendations of American Psychological Association Division 2 members

A nationwide survey of all members of American Psychological Association's Division 2: The Society for the Teaching of Psychology (response rate = 33%; N = 703) indicated that respondents generally acknowledged the importance of incorporating diversity topics in their classes. Respondents who rated Incorporating diversity topics as more important reported that they allowed more time in their classes to discuss diversity, were more likely to have taught a course on a diversity issue, employed a more interactive teaching style, and were at institutions that included a diversity course as part of the general education requirements. Respondents identified barriers to teaching diversity, potential facilitating factors, and successful strategies and resources for incorporating diversity issues.
