Subject: [Uodei] Toward a Truly Diverse Faculty ft Ernesto Martinez, 4/18, 3:30pm, 117 Education

Toward a Truly Diverse Faculty, April 18 ▪ 3:30–5pm ▪ 117 Education Sponsored by United Academics

Universities today claim to embrace diversity, yet rarely do we see this realized in practice. Indeed, institutional imperatives and policies often seem to work against diversification rather than for it.  What are the barriers to creating faculty diversity and how can they be overcome? What role should administrators and faculty play in achieving this goal?

This panel with two leading faculty experts in the field, drawing from insights in the new volume The Truly Diverse Faculty: New Dialogues in American Higher Education<http://www.palgrave.com/la/book/9781137456052>(Palgrave, 2015), co-edited by UO Professor Ernesto Martinez.

Nana Osei-Kofi , Director of the Difference, Power, & Discrimination Program and Associate Professor of Women, Gender, & Sexuality Studies at Oregon State University.

Ernesto Javier Martinez, Interim Department Head and Associate Professor of Ethnic Studies at the University of Oregon

Dr. Osei-Kofi’s scholarship focuses on critical and feminist social theories and pedagogies, the politics of American higher education, and visual cultural studies/arts-based inquiry. She has co-edited the collection Cultivating Social Justice Teachers: How Teacher Educators Have Helped Students Overcome Cognitive Bottlenecks and Learn Critical SocialJustice Concepts (2012). She contributed to the volume The Truly Diverse Faculty: New Dialogues in American Higher Education (2015).

Dr. Martinez’s research focuses on Comparative Ethnic Studies, Queer Studies, US Latina/o Literature and Culture, and Literary Theory. He co-edited The Truly Diverse Faculty: New Dialogues in American Higher Education (2015) and his book On Making Sense: Queer Race Narratives of Intelligibility (2012) was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award in the LGBT Studies category.
