Center for Research on Learning and Teaching

CRLT Players sessions use theatrical case studies to highlight the ways that lived experiences in higher education differ based on social identities and existing systemic inequities. By centering individuals who are often marginalized in higher education, performances make problematic dynamics and histories visible. The paired facilitated discussions ask participants to consider approaches for disrupting problematic behaviors and increasing equity in various institutional contexts.

Culture Change Initiatives

U-M made a commitment to enhancing diversity, equity and inclusion in 2016. As part of this effort, Organizational Learning continues to develop long-term educational strategies and interventions for university-wide culture change initiatives. This includes diversity, equity and inclusion and sexual and gender-based misconduct. We provide training and skill development opportunities to help create a community where people’s differences contribute to further learning and advancements in all fields of study and patient care. In addition, we provide education and training programs to eliminate sexual and gender-based misconduct.

Initiative on Gender Based Violence and Sexual Harassment

This initiative is composed of an interdisciplinary group of scholars across the University of Michigan. This group coalesced in 2017 out of a desire to better understand the enduring problem of gender-based violence. In May 2018, they sponsored a Michigan Meeting to bring together researchers, activists, students and community-based organizations.

Now operating as a research initiative in the Institute for Research on Women and Gender (IRWG), the group continues to promote interdisciplinary engagement with a particular focus on work that encourages practitioner-scholar collaboration on gender-based violence and sexual harassment.

Interested in expanding your knowledge of LGBTQ+ identities and topics? Introduction to LGBTQIA2S+ Communities and Identities was developed and published by the University of Michigan Spectrum Center with two goals in mind: expand our current educational offerings and provide a way to teach fundamental LGBTQIA2S+ terms and topics outside of our workshops. Want to find ways to improve your allyhood? Our Education & Training team works with students, faculty, and community members who may or may not identify in LGBTQ+ community, to discuss best practices when creating and maintaining spaces open to LGBTQ+ identified individuals.
