Through the inclusion of diverse topics and materials, Bryn Mawr seeks to expand the curriculum beyond Western culture, and to include work by and about women and peoples of color. While such considerations may not be relevant to some courses of study, serious consideration of the rich opportunities offered by the inclusion of diverse materials will be of benefit to the curriculum. We are asking each professor to reflect upon the extent to which each course includes a range of topics and materials; please use this opportunity to consider your sense of the breadth of this offering.
This course includes: Non-Western content/materials which
are one of several important components are peripherally included
Women’s content/materials which
define the course are one of several important components are peripherally included
Content/materials relating to peoples of color
define the course are one of several important components are peripherally included
This course does not include Non-Western materials nor materials
that address women or peoples of color, as I do not deem such inclusion appropriate to this particular offering
