Abstract
Three different types of discrimination are defined and analyzed. Individual and institutional discrimination refer to actions and/or policies that are intended to have a differential impact on minorities and women. Structural discrimination, on the other hand, refers to policies that are race or gender neutral in intent but that have negative effects on women, minorities, or both. Concrete examples of each type of discrimination are presented and pedagogical techniques for using these concepts are provided.Keywords
