Temple holds a monthly seminar for faculty called, “Can We Talk? Teaching About Race and Diversity.” Pamela Barnett, associate vice provost and director of the Teaching and Learning Center, observes, “College is this amazing place where everybody comes together. And then to have a class where they can actually talk about this diversity under the guidance of an instructor? We want faculty members to be able to do it well so that it can be a transformative, enriching experience for all.”
