鲍德温华莱士大学 Institutional 多样性 Definition

前言:
鲍德温华莱士大学 affirms a commitment to diversity in a variety of forms, believing that diversity is more than an all-inclusive list of demographics. Baldwin Wallace's rich history is distinctively tied to inclusion and we are dedicated to building upon that legacy by celebrating our heritage, acknowledging our challenges, and promoting a community structure that reflects the diversity of our multicultural and intercultural world. We aim to achieve diversity in all that we do in an effort to further strengthen the community of 鲍德温华莱士大学.

定义:
At 鲍德温华莱士大学, we define diversity as the ability to think critically while acknowledging and respecting different beliefs, 惯例和规范. 多样性 is a process of opening minds and hearts to different opinions. 多样性 fosters learning outcomes that are enhanced by life, classroom and professional experiences, and the appreciation of cultural and social beliefs. 除了, diversity at BW encourages each individual to explore and embrace individual uniqueness as we uphold our community standards, celebrate strategic change and honor traditions.

多样性, Integration and 包容 Committee at 鲍德温华莱士大学 has taken the necessary steps to define diversity in a manner that is consistent with the community's desire to monitor and facilitate diversity initiatives and ways of thinking. The definition does not infringe on the Federal Government's guidelines related to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 or the Anti-Discrimination Law. 进一步, the definition does not usurp the Non-Discrimination Policy enforced at 鲍德温华莱士大学.

多样性 Courses at 鲍德温华莱士大学

At 鲍德温华莱士大学 we value and appreciate that a diverse curriculum supports our mission and produces graduates who function well in multicultural and intercultural environments. Students can take courses that stretch their imagination in a plethora of ways: Jazz 历史, 多元文化心理学, Women in Western Civilizations and Media and 多样性 are just a few examples.

此外, students are able to put their theoretical foundation to good use by participating in a variety of co-curricular initiatives that extend the classroom. Service learning, community service and volunteering are often incorporated into classroom content. Rigorous debate and intentional listening are encouraged in the context of understanding and grasping the concepts of multiple identity development. Course offerings reflect our goal to prepare students to think critically while increasing their aptitude and appreciation for cultural awareness.

多样性 and 性别研究

从2010年秋季开始, 多样性的事务 started a partnership with two academic units to engage students who have selected gender or diversity studies as a minor. Students are encouraged to explore various aspects of gender and diversity in an intercultural world. To enhance discussions and maximize intellectual curiosity, 视觉刺激，如艺术, 电影和印刷资料(如.g., 研究文章, books and newspapers) are used to guide and stimulate thinking that supports academic development.

Students explore multiple ways of examining the world and are able to filter relevant information in a variety of ways: individually, 文化上和集体上. 除了, students participate on a voluntary basis, giving their time monthly to activities related to gender and diversity studies.

多样性的研究

The minor in diversity studies has two purposes: to teach students about diversity of the United States, with a special focus on gender, and to help students find innovative ways of living within a pluralistic society. For the purposes of this minor, "diversity" encompasses cultural, 种族, 少数民族, 宗教, 性, generational and physical diversities within the United States. "Gender" is understood as a subset of diversity and includes the physiology, sociology or psychology of gender difference, 性身份, gender stereotypes and/or social, 经济, cultural and historical structures relating to men's and women's status."

"The minor is intended to complement students' majors. Its interdisciplinary design introduces students to the different ways the disciplines conceptualize, investigate and analyze issues of diversity. The program of study will aid students in refining and expressing their own ideas about diversity, and will encourage them to bring new perspectives to bear on their other areas of study. A capstone seminar will provide students with theoretical tools to integrate the material from their courses with their research or career choices in a sophisticated manner."

-Dr. Deb Esty, Director of the 多样性的研究 minor, Department of Psychology

性别研究

"Gender studies examines the significance of social constructions of sex, gender and 性ity as they structure the meaning of personal identity and social institutions like work, 家庭, 医学和法律. The gender studies minor is an interdisciplinary program that allows students to choose from a number of different disciplines and topics to meet their individual interests while also acquiring a breadth of knowledge about how gender and 性ity are explored across multiple academic fields. Gender studies courses seek to enhance the integration of knowledge about gender and the social institutions that help to structure it beyond the classroom to one's public and personal life."

"The minor requires a total of 18 credit hours from a menu of options across multiple disciplines, with credit accumulated from at least three different departmental prefixes. Up to four of those 18 credit hours can be substituted with an approved independent study or internship coordinated with a faculty member working within the gender studies minor. Completion of the minor requires a not-for-credit reflection paper that summarizes the student's experience across the minor courses."

-Dr. Ana de Freitas Boe, Director of the 性别研究 minor

多样性的事务 Internship Program

Congruent with student development, 多样性的事务 created an internship opportunity for students who show a high degree of interest in diversity, 多元文化事务, pluralism or intercultural affairs. Each summer, one student is selected to work on a full-time basis, and during the academic year. The intern supports and maintains the daily operations of tasks related to the position. The diversity intern reports to the director of 多样性的事务 of the University and is responsible for planning at least two major events that will occur during the academic year. Areas of exploration are broad. With guidance and direct assistance, the intern works closely with student organizations, departments and entities to ensure the success of the programs.
