Description
Summary:	The article argues that many forms of diversity instruction, be it in the classroom or a conference room, have promoted an appreciation of differences without simultaneously promoting inclusion. Therefore, we advocate that diversity instruction should take a strategic approach to cultivating an appreciation of inclusion as well as diversity through considering the structure of the instruction, the authors of the work chosen, as well as who delivers the instruction. In essence, we present an alternative diversity teaching strategy that incorporates a value for inclusion.
