“…Our search through teaching journals also revealed multiple articles providing advice and suggestions for promoting inclusivity in relationship science classrooms, as displayed in Table 8. The challenges of teaching about diverse relationships are discussed in several sources, including Goldberg and Allen (2018) and a special issue of Teaching Sociology focused entirely on the teaching of sexualities (Buggs et al, 2021), and research about diverse relationships appears regularly in the journal Sexuality & Culture . Notably, instructors who acknowledge the potential influence of their own identities on the teaching practices they employ and the materials they select may foster “teacher empathy” that promotes comfort and connection with students with diverse identities (Meyers et al, 2019).…”

Relationship science is a dynamic, flourishing enterprise, with numerous discoveries and new lines of inquiry evident in recent changes in its textbooks and the teaching activities invented by its instructors. To survey changes and challenges in the teaching of courses that introduce students to relationship science—and to pursue “news instructors can use”—we surveyed 135 instructors of relationships courses regarding their teaching tactics and experiences. Guided by their responses and suggestions for further inquiry, we also examined the changes in textbooks on which they rely and reviewed teaching activities created to assist them with their teaching over the last 20 years. At present, some topics are nearly universal components of relationships courses but idiosyncrasy exists, particularly with regard to new topics—such as coverage of technology, intersectionality, or consensual nonmonogamy—that instructors plan to include in revisions of their courses. Suggestions for both new and experienced instructors are provided.
