Diversity Statement Writing Workshop

Date: 
Wednesday, March 30, 2022 - 2:00pm to 3:30pm
Location: 
Zoom

In bi-weekly Virtual Lunch and Learn & Best Practices in Teaching gatherings Graduate Teaching Assistants share their knowledge about teaching, teaching and technology tools as well as discuss research of teaching, book chapters relevant to work in an instructional setting. Anyone interested in these topics can join these meetings.

Are you applying for jobs/internships? Many jobs, especially academic positions, ask students to submit a “diversity statement” with their application materials. Many job seekers, unfortunately, treat such a document as an afterthought, when in fact it is a powerful opportunity to talk about your goals, values, and the kind of faculty member or academic leader you aspire to be.  

In this workshop, we will walk you through the process of recognizing your identities and positionality, and the role of DEI in your teaching, research, service, and community efforts. At the end of this session, you will have a working draft you can confidently refine, and which will empower you to continue your efforts toward DEI in any space.   

Presenters: Dr. Stefanie Baier and Hima Rawal
