Eighteenth International Conference on Diversity in Organizations, Communities & Nations

Abstract

This interactive workshop will show how teaching materials designed for a student cohort at a Northern English university have been picked up by seven other English universities for use in their classrooms. What started as an inclusive remedy enabling students from lower socio-economic or BAME backgrounds to better access graduate careers at the University of Central Lancashire, has turned into a “pass-it-on” message benefiting a much wider group of students at a range of institutions. The authors of this social justice project will talk about both the teaching and learning materials and how they have disseminated this good practice successfully to date. The workshop will include a chance to participate in some of the interactive classroom tasks together with an evaluation of the results of student surveys on the benefits of taking part in the Fairness Project seminars.
