Introducing Diversity into a General Chemistry Course
Pence, Harry E.; Pence, Laura E.
Journal of Chemical Education, v99 n1 p359-362 Jan 2022
Nationally, as the chemical community aspires to become more diverse, it is essential to make students of all races, ethnicities, gender expressions, and physical abilities feel welcomed and represented in the introductory courses in the field. One way to accomplish this goal is to present examples of scientists who are not traditionally included in the discussion of development of chemical ideas. This article will discuss a number of sources of biographical information about chemists from diverse backgrounds and presents a low threshold project for incorporating examples into general chemistry.
