Developing an Intersectional Consciousness and Praxis: Moving Toward Antiracist Efforts in Higher Education (Identity & Practice in Higher Education-Student Affairs)

March 25 & 27, 2025

How can we move beyond performative allyship and embed true intersectional antiracist practices in higher education? In collaboration with the co-editors of Developing an Intersectional Consciousness and Praxis: Moving Toward Antiracist Efforts in Higher Education, Dr. Jonathan A. McElderry and Stephanie Hernandez Rivera, the Diversity Scholars Network presents a powerful two-part webinar that critically examines antiracist practice through an intersectional lens.

Designed for those committed to transforming university spaces towards equity, this series amplifies the experiences of Students of Color with multiple marginalized identities. Authors from the co-edited text will share essential frameworks, practical strategies, and bold insights to push beyond theory into action.

Part I – March 25: Institutional leadership and pedagogy: How can faculty and administrators create truly inclusive learning environments?
Part II – March 27: Student affairs, equity and inclusion efforts, and health and wellness: What does it take to ensure holistic support for Students of Color?

Designed for those committed to transforming university spaces towards equity, this series amplifies the experiences of students of color with multiple marginalized identities. Authors from the co-edited text will share essential frameworks, practical strategies, and bold insights to push beyond theory into action.  

Join us for a critical dialogue on why intersectional antiracist work isn’t just important—it’s imperative.
