Diversity at the University

Creating an Inclusive Research Climate

November 13, 2012

In November, we hosted the first ever University-wide diversity-related research conference.  Our objectives were to understand the needs of scholars whose work advances the diversity imperative, and create a venue for networking.  The conference themes focused on the legitimacy of diversity-related scholarship, gaining inclusion into the ‘canon’, research subject recruitment, and publishing.  Below, please find materials from the day.
