Abstract

To increase student engagement in diversity learning, a method using student poster presentations was applied in an undergraduate cultural psychology course. Twenty-two students in the course created posters summarizing published research articles on cultural psychology, displayed their posters as a public event on campus, and discussed real-life applications of the findings on diversity issues with the audience. After the poster event, students reported enjoying the poster activity and increases in their confidence in and knowledge on diversity discussions. These findings were also supported by the positive outcomes of the entire course, which were measured pre-/posttest against a control group.
