Inclusive Pedagogy in Undergraduate Genetics Study Guide

This guide provides an overview of inclusive pedagogy in undergraduate genetics. It covers strategies for decoupling race from biology, using inclusive language in gender identity discussions, and supporting students with disabilities. The aim is to foster a welcoming classroom environment and prepare future biomedical professionals to approach human differences with respect and critical consciousness.
