Session Description:
Departing from the germinal “Guidelines for Good Practice by the Committee on the Literatures of People of Color in the United States and Canada” (2002), panelists focus on new approaches, challenges, and reconsiderations of best practices in the hiring, retention, mentoring, and professional advancement of faculty of color in an age of precarity, contraction, and political reaction.
