Blackademia: A Community of Care and Practice for Black Graduate Students and Post-Doctoral Scholars

* A Copc specifically for Black Graduate Students and Post-Doctoral Scholars  

This community of practice creates a space for Black educators (graduate students, teaching assistants, post-doctoral scholars) to connect, reflect, and learn from one another as they navigate their own disciplinary teaching and learning environments. Through facilitated dialogue and collective knowledge-sharing, participants will explore prevalent issues affecting Black educators while exchanging lessons learned, practical navigational strategies, and approaches that have supported their personal and professional growth.

The meetings will be held during the lunch hour across both the Fall and Winter term.

• Calendar invites will be shared with participants to allow for advanced booking.
• Meetings will also be alternating between online and in-person to allow folks the opportunity to connect through multiple mediums.

*Select sessions will also feature faculty and graduate students for a fireside chat conversations.

 Session Goals:

1. Discuss and reflect on systemic challenges within the learning and teaching environment.
2. Engage in dialogue and build community.
3. Explore practical navigational strategies that affirm the strengths of the educators.
