Workshop for faculty and staff: Walking the talk in diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging In-Person
Gregory King’s workshop begins with a call to action to dismantle anti-Black racism in academia. King will raise questions as to what gets excluded when faculty from historically marginalized communities seek promotion and focus on ways for white-identified faculty to support BIPOC faculty and staff in thriving in predominantly white academic spaces. The goal of this workshop is to provide all university faculty and staff with opportunities to not only interrogate but to disrupt structural inequities in the policies and practices that govern the faculty lifecycle—from recruitment to retirement—with the goal of supporting the retention and success of BIPOC faculty and staff over the course of their academic career. www.gregoryaking.com.
