Â鶹ӰԺ

Co-sponsored by DI and the Anti-Racism and Equity Institute (AREI), this faculty fellow slot devotes co-teaching, research, and scholarly focus to collaborative, cross-disciplinary projects relevant to the field of anti-racism and equity studies.

The faculty member selected will collaborate with either a member of the AREI leadership or a faculty member from another related academic unit/program to facilitate their project/concept. Selected faculty will be supported to dedicate 3 - 6 workload hours to this fellowship for both the Fall ’24 and for Spring ’25 semesters (up to two slots with up to 12 workload hours eachin total for AY 2024-25.)

Outcome activities may include disseminating the results of your work via an AREI colloquia series and/or other forms of feedback to Â鶹ӰԺ State faculty, students, alumni, community partners etc. In this way, we can cultivate a vastly increased local to national awareness for both DI and AREI at Â鶹ӰԺ State that will help to facilitate a cultural change towards a university-wide innovation focus on equity.  While anti-racism remains at the epicenter of this project, we value its intersectionality with other identities and welcome inquiries that aim to advance equity for all people experiencing marginalization. 

There are no limitations on the area of focus if the project contributes both to the understanding and interruption of structural practices that lead to inequities. Successful proposals will shift beyond documenting persistent inequality and move toward engagement with reimagined forms of equitable opportunities and outcomes. 

There are up to two slots available for the 2024/25 cohort.
