Event Date
Diversity statements have become prerequisites for many positions on the academic job market. These statements demonstrate an individual’s commitment to supporting and prioritizing diversity through their research, teaching, and service. In this hands-on workshop, participants will review the conventions and criteria by which diversity statements are assessed. They will also have the opportunity to brainstorm ideas for their own statements and engage in peer review. Participants are highly encouraged to bring a draft of their own diversity statement to the workshop to review and revise. Participants are also encouraged to access and complete the TAC On-Demand module, “Writing a Diversity Statement: Communicating Experiences with Social Justice in Higher Education,” prior to attending the session. Facilitators: Daisy Underhill, Philosophy, and Isabella Cantu, Sociology.
