Yasser: We tend to be challenged most when we're trying to come together in communities like this. The first challenge is that what are the inclusive practices that you as an instructor and faculty developer and educational administrator, anyone who's involved in the learning space design? Maha: I was able to bring my full self to it and feel like I was contributing and learning so much. It's just such a fun thing but it's very hard for me to describe what that is like.
Yasser Tamer discusses ways of being intentionally inclusive on episode 477 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.
