I need Dr. Steiner's
picture here?

During the Spring Semester, 2001, at Boise State University, Dr. Stan Steiner, led our class in the study of multicultural books and how we could encourage our students' expression of multicultural voices and thus create a more inclusive learning environment.

What follows are some of the articles we received and that I have collected on the theme of multiculturalism.  Click on the author's name in the left column or on the title to access the article comments.
