Due to myriad economic
and social factors, the racial, ethnic, and gender composition of law students
has become more diverse across the nation. Similarly, the demographics of law
faculty have shifted, albeit at a slower pace, toward more racial and gender
diversity. In 2009, the Association of American Law Schools estimated that
thirty-two percent of law professors are women and twenty-eight percent are racial
and ethnic minorities. How does such increased diversity affect the law school
classroom? More specifically, what does it mean for law school pedagogy? This
panel explores how law faculty are responding to these demographic shifts and
reimagining classroom norms. Topics will include how to incorporate more
inclusive teaching strategies, enhancing student engagement, addressing
identity issues within the curriculum and classroom, preparing students to
practice in a diverse society, and the role of experiential learning and
academic support. Business meeting held during the section luncheon on Saturday, January 5, 2019 from 12:15 - 1:30 pm.
