Status of Women, Racial and Ethnic Minorities, and LGBTIQ Persons in the Profession Workshop on "Overcoming Barriers to Underrepresented Scholarship: A Strategy and Action Workshop" Print

Friday, November 18, 9:00 AM–4:30 PM

Sponsored by the Status of Women in the Profession Committee, the Status of Racial and Ethnic Minorities in the Profession Committee, and the Status of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, and Queer Persons in the Profession Task Force

Despite more than four decades of feminist, anti-racist, queer, and other insurgent scholarship, the work and the scholars who produce it still face many barriers in the academy. This strategy and action workshop will focus on developing a plan of action for overcoming these barriers. The morning session will feature a panel that will discuss barriers to and strategies for promoting and disseminating paradigm-shifting intellectual projects in the academy. In the afternoon, participants will work on developing concrete proposals for collective action that can be implemented within the AAR and our home institutions.
