SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Shaking the Table: Centering the Voices of Identity Center Practitioners
DESCRIPTION:Identity-center practitioners play a critical role in fostering belonging\, advocacy\, and support for students with marginalized identities. Yet these professionals often navigate complex and challenging environments\, particularly amid increased scrutiny of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion efforts across higher education.\n\nDrawing from Shaking the Table: Survival and Healing Amongst Identity Center Practitioners\, this webinar will uplift the voices of current and former identity-center practitioners as they share personal stories of leadership\, resilience\, survival\, and healing. Panelists will reflect on their experiences leading and working within identity-based centers while offering practical insights\, lessons learned\, and strategies for sustaining themselves and their work.\n\nRather than a series of formal presentations\, the program will feature a facilitated conversation among the book’s co-editors and contributing authors. Together\, they will examine the visible and invisible labor of identity-center work\, the tension involved in creating belonging within institutions that do not always care for practitioners\, and the people\, practices\, communities\, and boundaries that make healing possible.\n\nJoin us for a conversation about the challenges and possibilities of identity-center work—and the roles that community\, mentorship\, and healing-centered practices can play in sustaining professionals committed to creating more inclusive campus communities.\n\n\nModerators & Co-Editors\n\nJonathan A.
