Webinar: Advancing Diversity and Inclusivity

Advancing Diversity and Inclusivity through Multilevel Strategic Leadership 

Monday, November 5, 9-10am 

Please join us at 8:30am for breakfast; webinar will be held from 9-10am, followed by discussion.

Offered by AAC&U and POD, this webinar builds on Kathy Takayama, Matthew Kaplan, and Alison Cook-Sather’s article in Liberal Education, “Advancing Diversity and Inclusion through Strategic Multilevel Leadership,” to articulate the strategies and processes that are needed to synergistically coordinate university-wide leadership efforts, interactions and initiatives at the school/college or department level, and efforts by individual instructors and activists to create change in their own classrooms or more broadly at their institutions.

The presenters will share institutional cases and highlight issues to consider when designing diversity initiatives, especially those related to the mandates, challenges, and possibilities of specific institutional contexts. Webinar attendees will have access to companion materials and resources for their own institutional work.
