Abstract
An awareness surrounding diversity issues is evolving in numerous ways within leisure studies, but many questions remain unanswered about using effective teaching strategies. The purpose of this paper is to describe elements of three courses taught at different universities that have sought to address diversity and culture. Using the three courses as case studies, we examined how these courses addressed diversity knowledge, social justice awareness, and cross-cultural skills as a three dimensional framework developed by Washington (1996). We concluded that approaching learning in only one of these dimensions may leave students with partial information. Instructors can best teach to students' heads and their hearts when all three dimensions of learning about diversity are activated.
