More Details

Summary:

"The Covid-19 pandemic and racial reckoning revealed huge fissures in political, social, and scientific infrastructure and response, as well as stark underlying inequities. These have prompted a rethinking of college curricula as institutions wrestle with financial havoc and technological logistics. Experts caution, however, against empty virtue-signaling, or offering fare that's poorly thought out and might prove superficial and fleeting. In this Chronicle issue brief, you'll learn why there is a distinct urgency to help students understand, cope with, and eventually improve their turbulent world. While there's no one right way to incorporate racial history, moral kinship, and a balance of humanistic and scientific values into a college curriculum, students are depending on colleges' innovative thinking and empathy like never before."--Publisher's description.
