Abstract
In an ideal world, students would have a wide range of opportunities to interact with many people of differing race, class, culture, ethnicity, and ability. In our real world, however, we often are isolated and segregated-never seeing, meeting, or interacting with a world of others. On the college campus where I began my teaching career, there were very few people of color, and the majority of students and faculty came from middle-class families of European ethnicity. This type of racial homogeneity, which exists in many schools (Bernstein and Cocks 1994), makes it difficult to provide students with opportunities to learn about issues of race, class, and ethnicity or about how these issues interact with gender variables.
