This symposium highlights approaches, experiences, and challenges to integrate diversity, equity, inclusion, and respect (DEIR) in the chemistry course work. The professional landscape for the STEM field is changing rapidly; engaging students in the exploration of cultures and life experiences different from their own is a high impact practice that promotes student success. The aim of this symposium is to provide a platform for participants to share their pedagogical approaches and ideas for incorporating DEIR related activities in chemical education.
