Tressie McMillan Cottom on student demand for DEI-type courses at colleges: “…student demand outpaces faculty expertise in race, class, gender and disability studies…These are courses often created because students want them. They want them because they live in a mediatized, global world. They watch K-dramas and listen to TikToks about histories they did not learn in school, and they realize that they need cultural competencies to live and work in a complex world.”
