 How can you approach writing a diversity statement, considering your discipline, personal experiences, and social identities? Though an increasing number of search committees ask for diversity statements, guidance about how to compose an effective statement—indeed, even about what they are and why they are valuable to institutions and candidates’ own professional development—remains scarce. In this seminar, we will explore our own beliefs and ideas, examine diversity statement samples and rubrics, as well as engage in inclusive and equitable teaching practices. We will consider ways your teaching, research, and service can advance the values you hold around equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging. Over the course of the seminar, you will draft and workshop a component of the diversity statement each week with the goal of crafting a compelling diversity statement by the end. This seminar is designed to offer you a space to reflect on why equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging are valuable for your own professional development, whether you already have a draft of a diversity statement or have never written one.

 *This is the first session of a 6-session seminar. Registration required.*  
Registration opens January 8.
