Ep. 22 - Dyszlewski & Russell: Integrating Diversity Into Law School Courses (Part 2)

01/09/24 • 47 min

We are back in the Lounge with Part Two of our discussion on integrating diversity and equity into law school courses. This three-part series is inspired by the Integrating Doctrine and Diversity volumes, co-edited by today's guests Professor Nicole Dyszlewski of Roger Williams University School of Law and Anna Russell, a librarian at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. In Part Two, we dive deeper into some of the topics from Part One while also exploring some new terrain. We take a closer look at how these volumes are meant to be used within law schools while also considering how the books can be used by legal professionals. Our discussion surrounding the Doctrine and Diversity Speaker Series continues, and you learn why the series was developed, the goals for the series, and why it continues to be successful. Nicole and Anna share some examples of essays from the books and we dive into diversity in publishing. We cover a lot this episode, and we hope that you learn something!

Ep. 21 - Dyszlewski & Tung: Integrating Diversity Into Law School Courses (Part 1)

Welcome back to a new year here at the Law School Lounge! We are kicking off 2024 with a three-part series inspired by the Integrating Doctrine and Diversity volumes, co-edited by today's guests Professors Nicole Dyszlewski of Roger Williams University School of Law and Genevieve Tung of the University of Pennsylvania Carey Law School. In Part One, we discuss the impetus for their work, goals they set with this project, and how the information is meant to be a direct resource for law faculty looking to enhance diversity and equity inclusion within the doctrinal classroom. We have some laughs along the way, but at the heart of this episode is a candid discussion of what it is like to work in the DEI space, how to do so in a respectful and amplifying way, and how to handle bumps throughout the journey.

Ep. 23 - Dyszlewski & Harrington-Steppen: Integrating Diversity Into Law School Courses (Part 3)

We are closing out our discussion on integrating diversity and equity into law school courses (for now) with part three of the series. This series is inspired by the Integrating Doctrine and Diversity volumes, co-edited by today's guests Professors Nicole Dyszlewski and Suzanne Harrington-Steppen of Roger Williams University School of Law. As this is the final part of our series (go back and list to the first two parts if you haven't already) we focus on themes and takeaways. Nicole and Suzy both take the time to reflect on what they have learned from creating these books and through working on the speaker series, and they share what they have gained through trial and error in their own courses as faculty. Some of the major themes we consider include intentionality in teaching and course design to include diverse elements, building community as part of the journey to practice and receive feedback, the use of reflection as a tool for integrating diversity in law school, and the need for vulnerability within this practice. Suzy and Nicole candidly share their own experiences, and their insights will help any professor consider how they might integrative diversity into their courses.
