The Management Education and Development Division of the Academy of Management would like to invite YOU to play an active role in our Teaching Diversity Initiative (TDI).

TDI (http://aom.pace.edu/med/tdi.htm) is an effort to promote diversity in management education and development, both within the division and in the Academy at large, through collaboration with the Gender and Diversity in Organizations Division (GDO).  The GDO website has a "Teaching" section dedicated to improving and supporting the teaching of courses and topics related to diversity (broadly defined).

Take a look at the valuable resources already available at

 http://divisions.aomonline.org/gdo/teaching/index.htm

- Course syllabi - undergraduate, graduate (pdf, html format or link to website)

- Activities, assignments, cases (links with information, table of contents, etc.)

- Teaching resources - links to articles, books, online materials and other resources for teaching diversity-related courses or topics

Go one step further and share your own ideas, recommendations and resources by contacting the GDO Website Manager:
