The methods Hogan has refined over her career led to “Inclusive Teaching,” the book she published in 2022 with her coauthor Viji Sathy. The handbook offers the concrete actions the two professors have used in their classrooms. For Hogan, those include guided reading questions, preclass homework, and in-class polls.
