Bridging the Divide: Addressing the Political Landscape of DEI Work and Scholarship in Higher Education

The increasing polarization of the United States is being showcased by policymakers across the country through attacks on diversity, equity, and inclusion in both practice and scholarship. While these attacks have real implications for our work in higher education, they also have real implications for our own humanity and that of our peers and students, both current and future.

The 2023 ACPA-ASHE Presidential Symposium will provide attendees with the opportunity to learn from practitioners and scholars about the short-term and long-term implications of the current political climate, examples of professional and personal resilience, and discussions about the potential paths forward.

Additional information regarding participating panelists and the symposium schedule can be found on the event website.
