Although statements that demonstrate ongoing commitments to enhancing diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and accessibility (e.g. DEI/JEDI/DEIA statements) are increasingly common components of hiring and tenure and promotion applications, existing scholarship overlooks the methods committees use to assess documents. This lack of clarity harms authors, especially those disproportionately taxed with the labor of dismantling systemic barriers in education. In this session, participants will actively reflect on their identities, access to power and privilege, and current interventions to identify next steps as co-conspirators and strategize ways to coach writers of these statements with collaboration, self-care, and growth in mind.
