Tessellations: A Tool for Diversity Infusions in the Curriculum

Abstract

Introducing diversity topics in the natural, mathematical and computer sciences is a hard task, since these disciplines are traditionally labeled as “diversity-unfriendly,” due to their primary foci of study. In this chapter we illustrate how tessellations may be used as a tool for infusion of multicultural topics, as well as a framework, designed after the Towson University course “Computers and Creativity,” where these concepts have been successfully implemented.
