Still, We Rise: Navigating Race & Religion in the Academy

The National Center for Insitutional Diversity and the University of Michigan presentation.

This panel convenes six Black scholars across higher education, history, psychology, and public health to address the ways in which they experience and navigate the intersections of their racial/ethnic, religious and other identities within academia. Topics will address both scholarly and non-scholarly issues such as: mental health and well-being, navigating racism and other forms of stigma and oppression in academia; impostor syndrome, "cultural taxation," and "hidden labor." During the session, attendees are invited to submit questions to the panelists.
