Case Study Authors

The case study format is central to the Design for Diversity project, and we are so grateful to our initial cohort of authors that put their time and expertise towards writing them. We think that these case studies share the details of methods and processes that aren’t usually shared in other forms of writing, but are the methods and processes that cultural heritage practitioners can most immediately put into practice.

Core Design Group and Study Path Authors

The Toolkit Design Group held two conference calls and met in person for a two-day working meeting in Boston. They subsequently worked together online and over the phone to develop a draft of the main grant outcome, the Design for Diversity Teaching and Learning Toolkit. Members of the Toolkit Design Group were reimbursed for travel to Boston and received an honorarium for their participation.

This group gave their time in multiple ways, and were key partners in helping us determine the final emphasis and design of this prototype. The Core Design Group members also created the study paths, especially for this Toolkit, as examples of learning activities that could be implemented in the classroom or workplace. We are very thankful for the participation of our Core Design Group members!
