Experiences with Diversity in the Curriculum: Implications for Graduate Programs and Student Affairs Practice
Gayles, Joy Gaston; Kelly, Bridget T.
NASPA Journal, v44 n1 p193-208 2007
The purpose of this study was to assess individuals' perceptions of and experiences with diversity in the curriculum of graduate preparation programs in student affairs. We were particularly interested in how diversity is incorporated into the curriculum and how individuals have been able to apply what they learned about diversity issues to student affairs practice. Using focus group interviews, data were collected from graduate students and student affairs practitioners. Three major themes that focus on requiring diversity in the curriculum, what should be included in diversity courses, and effective ways of linking theory to practice are discussed.
