Job Market Event: Feb 14, 2020

We will be hosting our first event on Feb 14, 2020!  This event will bring in prominent scholars of color from nearby universities to lead panels and workshops on how to navigate the academic job market, particularly as a person of color. The event will draw upon the expertise of leaders in the field in terms of both scholarship and advocacy for marginalized communities, including: Alex Chávez (University of Notre Dame), Ellie M. Hisama (Columbia University), Matthew D. Morrison (New York University), Michael Veal (Yale University) and Daphne A. Brooks (Yale University).

Faculty members of color can bring different perspectives to research and professional development than those already represented by our department’s faculty. We are currently working with the Department in our collective effort to hire a more diverse faculty and prepare students of color more effectively for specific challenges they may face in the field. We look forward to continuing to host similar events in the future.
