In a world beset by myriad challenges from the existential threat of climate change and the scourge of racial injustice to the chronic problem of economic inequality,  educational institutions are reexamining their role in society and their obligations to students.  Many institutions are turning to expanded experiential learning opportunities as a core feature of their pedagogy, designed to help learners thrive in today’s complex and interdependent world.  However, redesigning universities with experiential learning at the center may create new problems for equity and inclusion.
