Jacinta Saffold In a world where academia often overlooks the nuanced narratives of Black women, the Black Womens Studies Association (BWSA) is spearheading a movement that seeks to center the lived experiences of Black women across disciplines, identities, and generations. That commitment to community-building is central to their ethos.
This time of year, at my university, and perhaps at yours as well, we are preparing to submit documentation for our annual performance reviews. Serving our students, faculty, and staff is a group effort. Culture of Personality So, whats with this dissidence?
HEPI is running a series of blogs on the changing faces of academia in collaboration with the British Academy. In this blog, my aim is to bring together a few exemplars of experiences by people of colour within academia. Emotional labour has several meanings, and inevitably some are context dependent.
As the curator for the Theatre for Youth and Community Collection, her projects aim to create meaningful ways for students to engage with performing arts resources while supporting the documentation of historically marginalized perspectives. The Academic Bubble Challenge Academia presents a unique paradox when it comes to community building.

As I’m sure anyone in academia is aware, ChatGPT and its AI counterparts are taking us by storm. I’ve seen it rolling around Twitter, in all-faculty emails at my institution, and of course in places like the Chronicle of Higher Education. Have you been staring at a blank document for hours, unsure where to start?
It’s inconvenient because faculty are stressed. So, when faculty come to me with a problem, they want an answer. Some of the faculty who want a quick fix already “get it,” meaning they come in valuing diversity and inclusion and/or come in with a strong critical analysis (think antiracist, feminist, queer, critical disability, etc.).

The assignment created a bridge between academia and business (Rohm, 2019), and emphasized active learning by requiring students to develop a style guide (“Sprout Social”, 2024) and use GenAi tools such as ChatGPT, an AI tool owned by Open AI, to generate social media content for a real business.

We write today centering the needs and experiences of fat students who sometimes struggle to find fit and space within academia.

In a career that has included both academia and the private sector, Dr. Teik C.

Cropley’s (2014, 634) analysis of how teachers view creativity, he found that educators’ “evocation of ‘more creativity’ has been limited to rhetorical flourishes in policy documents and/or relegated to the borderlands of the visual and performing arts.” Educational Psychology Review 34 (1): 421–49.

He referred questions Tuesday to a university spokesperson.
My library is a government repository; we have a specific government documents section of our stacks. I have attended library sessions before where it is discouraged or interacted with faculty that do not want students using it. Was that the first place I went?
Image: When Julianna Barnes set her sights on a career in academia, she envisioned eventually becoming a vice president of an institution and assumed it would be her pinnacle role in the profession. She’s also a founding faculty member of the college.)

Drumm McNaughton McNaughton and Reichman cover the processes and conclusions of the AAUP report, emphasizing the detrimental effects on academic governance, academic freedom, and the well-being of faculty and students.

Rather, it requires a cultural shift within the institution, one that is heavily dependent on the idea of faculty buy-in.

Malaklou hosts events like "Evening with an Activist" at the bell hooks center, where students can learn tangible ways to make a difference outside of academia.
