On Tuesday, September 10, 2019, we welcomed and were honored to have Professor Thomas James from Indiana University be our second presenter for our Internet2 Inclusivity Initiative webinar series. To watch his presentation, you may visit the following link, Thomas James, Indiana University's Advocates and Allies Group.
His presentation focuses on the male allies group he helped form at Indiana University called Advocates and Allies for Equity. This pilot program was formed in 2017 with funds from their Provost and support from the Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Development and Diversity. It is designed to involve male faculty in the transformation of departmental cultures and practices by gaining a better understanding of issues of bias and privilege and raising awareness of strategies to promote engagement and equity. It is adapted from an NSF-ADVANCE grant program initially developed in 2008 at NDSU and has been successfully adopted by several universities since that time.
