I strongly recommend that every department use the self-assessment form Appendix 8 to look at your culture and structures. I think doing this at least every 3 years would be best practice. I will suggest that we do this here #ShutDownAcademia 5/6
Appendix 6 gives a wonderful summary of good institutional practices. Valuing teaching is key to a good environment #HigherEd #AcademicChatter. I love these quotes from @ChicagoState! #ShutDownAcademia 4/6
Some of the most recommended reading from #ShutDownAcademia is the @AIP_HQ TEAM-UP The Time Is Now report on increasing African Americans with Physics/Astro degrees www.aip.org/diversity-initiatives/te... At 180+ pages, it can seem intimidating, so here are some...

As part of #ShutDownSTEM & #ShutDownAcademia today, I want to think about building pipelines - that outreach is not enough, but bringing students into training opportunities & labs with mentors can have a more lasting impact for individuals. 2/

On this day of #StrikeforBlackLives #ShutDownSTEM #ShutDownAcademia when we reflect on the lives of BLK people in academia, I want to draw people’s attention to Brandon Taylor’s novel about what it’s like being BLK, gay, and in STEM @blgtylr

I work a lot in the math world on EDI. I came to Bates because I saw an opportunity to do the work there and in the classroom. In solidarity with #ShutdownSTEM #ShutdownAcademia and #ShutdownMath, I'm asking colleagues to think with me about what more Bates can do. #ShutdownBates
