The diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) space will be especially active in 2025. Business faculty are developing improved approaches to discuss and teach DEI concepts to our students, while operating under higher scrutiny in the US and worldwide. The DEI umbrella is expanding in areas such as neurodiversity and social class. Globally, DEI priorities vary in their particular foci by region. We can gain from sharing best practices to help academics craft their narrative rationale and approaches for teaching DEI topics. How can we manage the discussion space respectfully, especially for our main constituents - students in the classroom? The aim of this PDW is to share best practices for DEI in management education, taking note of potential challenges and opportunities. Experienced and new faculty are welcome to join.
