Abstract

Academic institutions have been encouraging the adoption of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) themes in classrooms over the last decade, but these initiatives can often be limited to buzzwords in goal statements or ideals. This article focuses on the practical application of DEIA within the curriculum of one legal-research course. Facilitated primarily through the use of journal articles, we covered topics such as algorithmic and data bias, discriminatory treaty practices in Africa, the decolonization of comparative law, and enduring prejudices in subject headings, among others. This article outlines the planning process, reviews classroom activities and discussions, shares lessons learned, and annotates discussion materials used.
