Developing an Inclusive Curriculum

7 September 2007

University of York

Following the success of the last Curriculum Innovation for Diversity
conference in September 2006,  a second annual conference on Developing
an Inclusive Curriculum will be held at the University of York on 7
September 2007. 


This year the conference is organised by the Higher Education Academy,
to include the subject centres for Psychology, English, History,
Classics and Archaeology, Philosophy and Religious Studies, and
Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences Subject Centre (GEES).  

'Equality' and 'diversity' are terms which are increasingly used in
higher education, and often in relation to the curriculum. However, much
work in this context does not deal specifically with curriculum content
and delivery. This conference will offer delegates from different
discipline areas a space to share or develop practical approaches to the
embedding of equality and diversity in curricula for the enhancement of
the student learning experience. Participants will consider ways in
which the many aspects of diversity - including age, class, gender,
sexual orientation, culture, religious belief, ethnicity and disability
- can become part of their critical thinking in the development of
curriculum content and delivery methods.

The day will include a generic strand in the morning and disciplinary
strands in the afternoon, and will use a range of approaches to
stimulate discussion and reflection. There will also be an opportunity
to learn about relevant projects and resources. 

Revised programme now available.  For more information and to book your
