Rigor and inclusion are often seen in academia as being in opposition to each other, despite the evidence that inclusion necessitates rigor to empower all of our students to grow, build on their strengths, and learn. This interactive workshop seeks to illuminate the ways that rigor is often misused or misunderstood to move participants to a more inclusive (and dare we say, more rigorous!) definition and enactment of rigor in their course design. Our goal is for POD participants to leave with a template to facilitate a critical discussion of rigor with faculty from any institution or discipline.
