  5. Conversation Questions:
    • History and place matters. Ethical commitments to antiracism and social justice matter. Many students finish graduate and undergraduate degrees and have not had the opportunity to take a class on the history of race, racism, antiracism and social justice as part of the core learning outcomes of any degree granting program in higher education. How do we reflect on the past, present as we imagine possibilities for the future of teaching and learning on race and social justice?
    • What is the status of race and social justice courses/curriculum at the Undergraduate, Graduate Level in your department/program? How do we as a university critically reflect on structural/systemic/institutional racism in the curriculum (e.g., undo omissions and include learning outcomes on antiracism in the curriculum/pedagogy, other ideas)? Are students representatives invited to department committees meetings as part of mentoring experiences and pathway to academia?
    • What is the historical context of your department’s genealogy/historiography of race and social justice courses in your program/department? What does a timeline of race and social justice courses in your department/program look like? How has that changed over time?
    • How can mapping and examining the academic genealogy/historical trajectory of race and social justice course offering in each department/program inform our future? What could co-created curriculum look like?
    • How can on-going critical reflexivity (individual instructors; department and program units; colleges and institution accountability structures) about the meaning of race, the levels of racism (internalized, interpersonal, institutional/structural), settler colonialism, anti-Blackness, intersectionality, colorblind racism, critical race studies and ruling relations in the 21st century academy help catalyze scholarly and teaching innovations on race and social justice across the disciplines in the years to come?
    • What more do you want to know about the history, current status and future of critical race studies at the undergraduate and graduate levels across departments/programs to better serve students and community needs and advance knowledge projects and teaching on racial and intersectional justice? If you are interested in office hours/individual 30-consultations on your courses/degree requirements/efforts to include race and social justice in the curriculum please email nlopez@unm.edu.

This webinar describes the upcoming Day of Action Against White Supremacy in Schools, Colleges, and Universities, and shares examples of how you can participate at your campuses. The nationwide Day of Action (http://www.educationalstudies.org/day-of-action.php), scheduled for November 19, responds to increasing calls to censor anti-racist education and builds on the statement, "Education for Democracy Demands Educating Against White Supremacy," which has been endorsed by 2200+ educators, scholars, and organizations.

Already, educators at dozens of campuses have committed to participate. This webinar aims to help us all to prepare. The lead author of the joint statement, Kevin Kumashiro, will describe the Day of Action. Other organizers of the Day of Action will share strategies and ideas about whom to address, which issues to include, how to rally collaborators, and where these actions fit in larger initiatives and movements. This webinar is free and open to the public, but registration is required. We will try to make a recording of the webinar available at the website of the Day of Action soon after. We hope to see you at the webinar and to work alongside you!

Toxic Ivory Towers and URMF Talk

A Seminar with Professor RUTH ZAMBRANA

Distinguished University Professor

University of Maryland

Toxic Ivory Towers is the first book to examine the institutional factors impacting the ability of underrepresented minority (URM) faculty to be successful at their jobs and to flourish in academia. Despite the changing demographics of the nation, the percentages of Black and Hispanic faculty have increased only slightly. The book explores how these social statuses influence the health and well-being of URM faculty, and also how institutional policies and practices can be used to transform the culture of an institution so URM faculty can thrive.
