Best practices of Inclusive learning and teaching in Higher Education & the dangers of DEI policing

Welcome to our third episode of BeamReach and Beyond. This episode is dedicated to Higher Education.

And joining us today are Eileen Petzold-Bradley from Nova Southeastern University, Stephan Schmuck from ESCP and Charlotte Stewart Buckinghamshire New University, who will share their rich experience of working in higher education across the US, Germany and UK.

In this episode, we discuss how expectations from students to have diverse representation in classroom adds pressure on universities to embrace DEI, how political environment affects funding in universities and impacts curriculum; the danger of policing Diversity and Inclusion language, the consequences of the cancel culture, the insights of disability inclusion in education, and finally, best inclusive practices that can help us bring out the best in our students.

• English description of `The Stigma..`
