On-Demand Webinar
The ongoing national conversation about the deadly impact of racism has created an urgency around the need for dramatic change at all levels of society.
Roundtable
Across 2020 and into 2021, there has been unprecedented pressure on institutional leaders to acknowledge and address historical ties to slavery and racial oppression and the myriad symbols on across college campuses memorializing these connections.
Working Session
Faculty diversity has been slow to change despite decades of calls from student activists. Recently, the Black Lives Matter movement has called particular attention to the low numbers of BIPOC faculty. Not only do faculty demographics lag behind the diversity of our campuses and communities, students also miss the benefits of learning from faculty with a diverse range of backgrounds.
Working Session
In these workshops, attendees will gain a broad overview of best practices in BIPOC faculty recruitment and explore a candidate-centric model of hiring. They will network with peers around topics including faculty line allocation, innovative hiring practices such as target-of opportunity hires, and adapting promotion and tenure requirements to reflect institutional DEIJ goals. Each attendee will identify at least once tactic or strategy to bring back to campus and learn how EAB can support institutional diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) efforts.
