A Discussion about Diversity in Scholarship.”The discussion focused on “the ways the texts students and faculty access may be limited by a lack of diversity, as well as the actions they can take to create a more inclusive knowledge pipeline.”“We will introduce the context for these discussions with an overview of the current state of knowledge and academia in a white supremacist society before opening discussion to imaginative ways we can revamp our personal and professional practices,” the description continues.
