Delving into conversations around diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) can be challenging. For those involved, these conversations often require patience, flexibility, and perspective-taking. This is especially true for those who facilitate these conversations in the classroom, and especially true in the current political climate. Serving as an instructor for topics that focus on DEIB presents an array of experiences and opportunities, some rewarding and some challenging, that are unfamiliar to novice DEIB instructors. Furthermore, even experienced instructors are likely facing challenges navigating backlash and ever-changing campus policies around DEIB. The purpose of this PDW is to continue the success of our initial 2022 PDW at the Academy of Management Meeting by preparing faculty members of all levels and demographic backgrounds to manage and facilitate classroom discussions related to DEIB. This includes direction on how to introduce sensitive topics, how to engage with students, how to handle difficult questions, and critically, how to implement new DEIB exercises in the classroom. This PDW utilizes an array of session formats (i.e., teaching demonstrations, panels, and roundtable discussions) and involves faculty who have extensive experience leading DEIB courses. We see this PDW as an opportunity to broaden our mindsets and approaches to teaching DEIB by continuing to innovate in the classroom and as a scholar.
