Co-panelists share strategies for building community in the classroom, centering marginalized students in curriculum, and highlighting equity-minded pedagogies. These objectives are achieved through positionality, counter narratives, and curriculum development. Effective use of social positioning can facilitate the introduction and critical analysis of racial hierarchies and racial positioning; in-group diversity; and gender constructs. Counter narratives can aid in identifying and addressing disparities in access and inequitable resources for BIPOC students and adequately equipping and empowering all students for success. Centering marginalized students can be structured into curriculum development that includes stories diverse in authorship and character and voices of those who are oppressed or those who are without the same power as those of the dominant culture.
