Intersections on Inclusion: Critical Conversations about the Academy
 

Cosponsored by the Center for Intersectional Gender Studies & Research and the USU Libraries, this series explores questions about knowledge, research, teaching, and the academy through an intersectional lens.

Designed to encourage reflection, community-building, and dialogue across campus, these timely conversations examine how we can challenge inequity in scholarly practice. Discussion topics in this series are intentionally interdisciplinary and intersectional in scope.

  • Working at the Intersections: Critical Race Scholarship and Pedagogy Today by Avery C. Edenfield, Isaiah Jones, Emma Mecham, and Christy M. Glass

    Working at the Intersections: Critical Race Scholarship and Pedagogy Today

    Avery C. Edenfield, Isaiah Jones, Emma Mecham, and Christy M. Glass

    Recent conversations in Utah and nationwide highlight the debate and division surrounding Critical Race Theory (CRT) in education. The purpose of this event is to celebrate the ways CRT informs and deepens our teaching, research, and community engagement in higher education. Panelists will explore how they use CRT in the classroom and in their research, and discuss how doing so advances USU’s mission of “cultivating diversity of thought and culture" and “serving the public through learning, discovery, and engagement.” Join us for an engaging—and celebratory—discussion that will reenergize our shared purpose in this work and build connections across our university.

  • Pride in the Field by Hay Pradell, Steph Crowell, River Johnson, Oluwadamilola Opayemi, and Elizabeth Grace Wong

    Pride in the Field

    Hay Pradell, Steph Crowell, River Johnson, Oluwadamilola Opayemi, and Elizabeth Grace Wong

    Many USU students, staff, and faculty are engaged in projects and research focused on the LGBTQIA+ community, as explored in the Utah State Today series, “Celebrating Pride.” Join us for a panel discussing approaches to research about, with, and by the LGBTQIA+ community. What key considerations should researchers center when studying gender and sexuality? From research design, to language use, to avoiding bias, to supporting researchers, what do inclusion, equity, and justice look like in practice? Panelists and attendees will reflect together on positionality, privilege, and marginalization, while taking away actionable practices for future research.

  • Graduate Student Voices by Rana Abulbasal, Jamal-Jared Alexander, Elizabeth Grace Wong, Amand Hardiman, Niyonta Chowdhury-Magaña, and Lili Yan

    Graduate Student Voices

    Rana Abulbasal, Jamal-Jared Alexander, Elizabeth Grace Wong, Amand Hardiman, Niyonta Chowdhury-Magaña, and Lili Yan

    Building on previous events in this series, especially our conversation on inclusive mentoring, this panel will feature perspectives from USU graduate student leaders from across the university. Discussion will explore pressing issues in the graduate student experience through an intersectional lens and explore graduate students’ work as scholars, teachers, researchers, learners, activists, and more. Fellow graduate students, faculty, and staff will benefit from hearing this conversation, and will leave motivated to create a more inclusive and supported graduate student community at USU. Readings, resources, and campus connections to groups like the Graduate Students of Color Association, Black Student Union, Inclusion Center, and more will be shared with attendees.

  • Culturally Responsive and Inclusive Teaching by Sam Clem, Marilyn M. Cuch, Daniel Piper, Andrea M. Hawkman, Melissa Tehee, and Christy M. Glass

    Culturally Responsive and Inclusive Teaching

    Sam Clem, Marilyn M. Cuch, Daniel Piper, Andrea M. Hawkman, Melissa Tehee, and Christy M. Glass

    Building on previous events in this series, this panel will explore how to bring diversity, equity, and inclusion theories and practices into our classroom teaching, both in face-to-face and online instructional settings. Drawing on their expertise in a range of teaching and learning contexts, panelists will share principles for culturally responsive and inclusive instruction. Together, we will reflect on why this work has always mattered – and why it especially matters now.

  • Research and Publishing during COVID-19 by Avery C. Edenfield, Annie Isabel Fukushima, Becky L. Thoms, Elizabeth Vargis, and Christy M. Glass

    Research and Publishing during COVID-19

    Avery C. Edenfield, Annie Isabel Fukushima, Becky L. Thoms, Elizabeth Vargis, and Christy M. Glass

    This discussion will explore the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on scholarly research and publishing. Travel restrictions, retracted funding, delayed or halted projects, and an increase in caretaker and other personal responsibilities at home compound to create unprecedented challenges for producing and publishing research. Early indicators show women, those with significant unpaid care responsibilities, and members of minoritized groups have been disproportionately impacted. For graduate students and early career faculty who depend on research and publication for promotion and tenure, the stakes are especially high. Join our panelists for a conversation about the how the COVID-19 pandemic is impacting the research landscape.

  • Citation as a Critical Practice by Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq, Breanne Litts, Mario Itzel Suarez, Cree Taylor, and Christy M. Glass

    Citation as a Critical Practice

    Cana Uluak Itchuaqiyaq, Breanne Litts, Mario Itzel Suarez, Cree Taylor, and Christy M. Glass

    This discussion will explore the politics and ethics of citation. As academics, how, why, when, and whom do we cite, and what is at stake in these practices? Areas for discussion will include representation in disciplinary canons and the undercitation of scholars who are Black, Indigenous, People of Color, LGBTQ+, women, and members of multiply marginalized groups. By considering citation in the context of power and privilege, this panel will unpack what it means to adopt a critical approach to citation in our research, teaching, and scholarship.
