[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To promote inquiry with exposure to different perspectives and lived experiences. [/quote] This! I have an example. I was one of those “diverse” students in college. I was born here, but grew up in South America, close to my relatives. During a geography class here in college, the professor took us to the library to show us some older, outdated maps. One of the maps showed the country I had grew up in. It’s territory was almost cut in half. As soon as I saw it, I gasped, and complained. The professor said he had purposely pulled out that map, so my classmates would see my reaction. I made his point about the importance of maps in national identity. The first Jewish, Muslim and gay people I met were in college. Getting to know them as peers and friends helped me be more empathetic towards their struggles. [/quote]
