About The Position

This position involves teaching up to 3 sections of a 3-credit-hour core course, EXDM 418 – Designing for Inclusion and Belonging. The role includes delivery, management, preparation/collaboration, and co-teaching with Full-time Faculty. The course focuses on the Savior’s model of ministering to the one to help students explore the core principles of inclusive design through a global and gospel-centered lens. Students will gain the ability to see, hear, and connect with others, and acquire tools to create environments, systems, and experiences that are inclusive, accessible, equitable, and empowering for people of all backgrounds and abilities. The course also helps students examine the power of diversity, the impact of unconscious bias, and the systemic roots of inequity across cultures and contexts. Through case studies, reflective exercises, gospel study, and transformative experiential learning, students will challenge and broaden their worldview, question their assumptions, and develop empathy-driven, Christ-centered inclusion, belonging, and design approaches. The aim is to help students experience the importance of engaging with perspectives different from their own, fostering more human- and heaven-centered solutions and becoming Christlike leaders who use intentional experiences to help lift, design, and transform the world where all can feel they truly belong.
