3. What other support
does the Diversity
Academy offer faculty?
In addition to fellowships and
extended pedagogical study through
a Faculty Learning Community,
the academy is to faculty having
diversity-related projects what the
ILTE is to faculty projects more
generally. The Diversity Academy
facilitates teaching, research, and
service, as described below.
• One-hour and half-day workshops
on topics of interest to faculty
on diversity-related teaching, by
arrangement of deans, coordinators,
or individual faculty or groups.
• Consulting to facilitate faculty
teaching, research, or service
projects, by appointment.
• Collaboration with faculty on
action research or other forms of
inquiry, by appointment.
4. What are academy-facilitated
research projects?
The academy director is routinely involved in
some aspect of diversity research and is looking for
opportunities to collaborate with, or to facilitate
through consultation, faculty inquiry in areas related
to diversity. For example, the following papers were
proposed and delivered at 2010-11 conferences:
