This course hub website contains OER/ZTC (Open Educational Resources/Zero Textbook Cost) resources for faculty to increase diversity and representation in their Introduction to Psychology course (PSY 100) and help promote culturally sustaining pedagogy at the Borough of Manhattan Community College (BMCC). These resources are freely available for use by BMCC faculty and beyond.
This work was created by Nelcida Garcia-Sanchez, as part of the BMCC Open Education Initiative, which is co-led by the A. Philip Randolph Library and the Center for Excellence in Teaching, Learning, and Scholarship (CETLS). The BMCC Open Education Initiative is supported by the CUNY Office of Library Services (OLS) and funded by the New York State Education Department.
The readings, videos, and activities/assignments center psychologists/researchers and/or samples of participants from diverse and traditionally underrepresented backgrounds. This definition of diversity considers gender, race/ethnicity, age, disability, sexual orientation, and more.
