This year the POD Network Diversity Committee’s Donald H. Wulff Diversity Fellows will discuss ways to bring in a broader perspective to view inclusion and equity across a range of institutional contexts. From equitable assessment, embodied learning and pedagogy, to a five-themed framework for inclusive teaching, and support for disabled faculty, the Wulff Diversity Fellows will share their work, experiences, and strategies on how to promote diversity, inclusion, and equity within and beyond the classroom.
Donald H. Wulff Diversity FellowshipsThe Donald H. Wulff Diversity Fellowship is aimed at increasing the participation of people from historically underrepresented racial and ethnic groups and individuals from underrepresented institutions in the field of educational development into the POD Network. The fellowship also encourages recipients to explore their particular interests and questions related to diversity and educational development. The fellowship is named after a former POD Network President, the late Donald Wulff, who was unequivocally committed to advancing diversity issues within the field of educational development and advocating for diversity issues within the POD Network. Every time we select new recipients for the diversity fellowship, we honor his legacy to the POD Network and commitment to diversifying the POD Network’s membership.
The POD Network, upon recommendation of the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee, awarded the Wulff Fellowship to the following recipients:
- Teresa Blankmeyer Burke, Professor of Philosophy, Gallaudet University
- Shavonne Coleman, Inclusive Teaching and Learning Educational Developer, University of Texas at Austin
- Ching-Yu Huang, Assistant Professor of Biology, Virginia Commonwealth University
- Stephanie Kusano, Assistant Director of Assessment, University of Michigan
