The UW System on Race and Ethnicity (IRE) conducted a two-day symposium that, on its first day, featured scholarly presentations by UW System faculty who had been past or present recipients of the IRE's Faculty Diversity Research Awards (FDRAs). The symposium's second day featured discussions on the mentoring of tenure-track faculty of color, as well as a panel of UW campus provosts discussing the importance of diversifying our faculties. Such topics as recruitment, retention, grant opportunities, and publication strategies were addressed on this second day.
The UW System Institute on Race and Ethnicity (IRE) collaborated with the UW System Women's Studies Consortium to organize a conference "thread" of approximately 20 sessions that focused on the theme of "Intersections of Race, Ethnicity, Gender, and Sexuality."
The UW System Institute on Race and Ethnicity (IRE), in conjunction with the UW System Office of Instructional and Professional Development (OPID), collaborated to conduct the "Symposium on Cultural Diversity in the Curriculum."
