• UO’s Teaching Engagement Program provides resources for faculty to develop more inclusive, engaged curricula and teaching practices: https://teaching.uoregon.edu/resources/teaching-excellence
• In AY 2017/18, The University Senate replaced the existing Multicultural Requirement with two new requirements. Currently, each undergraduate student is required to take one course in the US: Difference, Inequality and Agency category, and one course in the Global Perspectives category. These courses develop students' analytical and reflective capacities to help them understand and ethically engage with the ongoing (cultural, economic, political, social, etc.) power imbalances that have shaped and continue to shape the US. Each course includes scholarship, cultural production, perspectives, and voices from members of communities historically marginalized by these legacies of inequality.
