In our conversations about this project with peers and colleagues who care about the same issues, whether due to lived experience as a racialized person in the academy, as DEI practitioners, and/or as allies, many have expressed a desire to build community and networks around these issues especially as they relate to sameness. At the same time, in the project, we were inspired by the collective energy at the kick-off and the discussions we had. To that end we are initiating a series of sessions and a space to continue these discussions about (disrupting) sameness in the academy, to share experiences, to seed creative ideas, and to build solidarity. Each session will have a theme and discussants to kick off the conversation. If you want to join any of the sessions below, please email us to register at c.y.e.wong@uva.nl and learn more.
