Abstract

This article will describe a teaching module that grapples with diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) issues in the context of an environmental negotiation case study, seeking to provide guidance useful to professors in both doctrinal and skills courses. The teaching tools offered could readily be adapted to case studies other than the hazardous waste permitting scenario described here, and could be applied in an environmental law or administrative law course, as well as in a negotiation or other skills course.

This teaching module is structured in four parts: first, assigning advance readings and handouts; second, utilizing case studies that require students to engage with DEI issues as they negotiate; third, conducting a facilitated review of the process in which students have engaged, including discussion of how the DEI issues were managed; and fourth, requiring completion of a written journal from each student that follows up the oral discussion and further mandates integration of relevant concepts from the assigned readings. *
