Going Inward: The Role Of Cultural Introspection In College Teaching (Higher Ed)

Going Inward is a pragmatic text for faculty in all disciplines who desire to deepen their reflection on teaching. Through the culturally introspective writings of faculty in a variety of academic disciplines, readers will gain a deeper understanding of faculty cultural influences on college teaching and student learning. This book introduces readers to cultural self-reflection as a powerful tool for insight into how our values and beliefs from our cultural and familial upbringing influence our teaching practice. Cultural self-reflection is a process for generating insights and empathy toward serving students from backgrounds and cultures both similar to and different from one s own. The integrated design of the book s three parts cultural introspection, faculty culture and teaching autobiographies, and developing a culturally introspective practice makes this book helpful to teaching faculty and academic administrators."
