Increasingly, college classrooms are transitioning from lecture to active learning.  While active learning has been shown to benefit students on average, less is known about how aspects of this learning environment may affect students with marginalized identities.  In this talk, I will present some unintended consequences of active learning for student anxiety, LGBTQ+ students, and students with disabilities and how instructors can structure their active learning classrooms to be more inclusive.
