Crowdsourcing: I am super excited to have the opportunity to teach a course on minority serving institutions in the fall for students in NIU’s HESA master’s students. I always over plan and prep my teaching. So, I have an ask about three things: 1. Absolutely germinal texts or readings, videos, talks, media about MSIs in general and specific MSI categories. Not just the same old readings - for example, I’m considering HBCU Made edited by Ayesha Roscoe. 2. If you want to visit in class! Virtually unless you want to come out to DeKalb 3. If you’re a local MSI (somewhere in Northern Illinois-ish) and would like to host us for a visit! My title and description is below. I had to submit it before I really had a chance to think more deeply about it: Minority Serving Institutions: Educating and Serving Racially Marginalized Students This course is focused on minority serving institutions, including how these institutions are defined and conceptualized, how and why these institutions emerged, the possibilities and limitations of MSIs to advance racial equity, and what MSIs have to teach American higher education about serving racially marginalized students.

In 2023, I participated in two virtual convenings designed to help establish “a cross-national community of scholars whose members take appreciative, critical, and practical perspectives on advancing educational access, quality, and equity by (re)building education systems.” The work has as intended led to further collaborations over these timely issues that we grapple with in different education contexts. In a serie of interviews we explore these questions and concerns regarding equity and education systems, including in Nordic education. Donald Peurach Thomas Hatch https://lnkd.in/dYkzgNZ8

Recently, I attended Mission 44's Diversity in Education Summit. The event was aimed at addressing the critical topic of needing to increase ethnic diversity in the education workforce. As a Youth Advisory Board Member at Mission 44, I had the honour of being a reporter for the event. You can read my blog of the event here: https://lnkd.in/dXkXfP8b The event reinforced the value of our aim at Mission 44, to increase diversity in the teaching profession. After having engaged with passionate individuals committed to breaking down barriers and exploring new innovative approaches, I am more determined than ever to find new ways to transform the current education system. #DiversityInEducation23
