I wrote my Bachelor's and Master's theses on cross-cultural philosophy, studied Buddhist philosophy with Tibetan teachers in India, and have been incorporating non-Western and minority philosophers and philosophical ideas into my syllabi and lesson plans for as long as I've been teaching. Lately I've been focusing on disability inclusion and accessibility. Here are links to some resources I've found useful:
