Studying, Streamlining, & Sustaining DEI Work Across Academic Contexts

This interactive session focuses on the efforts of centers to study, streamline, and sustain DEI work. Our session includes a programmatic-level look into how an HBCU has implemented specific initiatives with both asynchronous and synchronous offerings and how a PWI SLAC has streamlined efforts across campus for greater efficacy. We then take a broader view with the findings of a qualitative study of DEI departments that focuses on LGBTQ+ populations. The session will end by reflecting on whether work across academic contexts towards DEIJ can provide solutions to emerging problems such as state “divisive concepts” bills that oppose DEIJ initiatives.
