The mission of this chapter is to promote dialogues about structural injustice of any sort, to offer guidance on thinking and teaching inclusively, and to create a welcoming environment for all students, faculty, staff, and members of our community regardless of their identities.<\/p>\n<p>GREAT NEWS!
