Fw: [AAG Diversity Ambassadors] : Call for participation: Students and Early Career Faculty: Advice from the AAG's Diversity Ambassadors

[Darryl Cohen (CENSUS/POP FED)]

​Diversity Ambassadors:

Please see the message below from our dear friend Astrid Ng at the AAG inviting you to participate in a panel session that she and I have organized for the upcoming AAG annual meeting in Chicago.

The panel will be similar to one that we held last year, where diversity ambassadors fielded questions from the audience about matters related to dealing with diversity issues both in school and in the workplace.

If you are interested in participating in the panel, please contact Astrid at a...@aag.org.

Thank you for involvement as an AAG diversity ambassador. We look forward to seeing you in Chicago!

AAG Diversity Ambassadors Post New Message Call for participation: Students and Early Career Faculty: Advice from the AAG's Diversity Ambassadors Reply All Jan 20, 2015 4:52 PM Astrid Ng Hello all, We are looking for individuals who would like to participate as panelists for the following session, organized by Darryl Cohen of the AAG Diversity Ambassadors and sponsored by AAG Jobs and Careers: "Students and Early Career Faculty: Advice from the AAG's Diversity Ambassadors".  Please see the session description below and let me know (a...@aag.org) if you are interested in serving as a panelist for this session:  This session is meant to serve as an open forum where geography students and early career faculty of diverse backgrounds can meet and discuss concerns in a safe and supportive environment. It is a continuation from a similar panel last year, organized by Dr. Patricia Solis (Texas Tech University) where panelists and audience members actively discussed topics including: navigating undergraduate and graduate school, overcoming challenges associated with race/ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, age or physical impairments and learning to read between the lines and discuss topics that are not often obvious or explicitly discussed. Questions addressed last year included: How do students of color balance their academic lives with their need to be visible within their communities? How do female academics plan and manage their professional careers with their potential desire to have a family? How do students, who are physically impaired, comply with difficult professional obligations, such a conference travel? What about nontraditional or nonacademic career paths? Please join us so that we can share experiences and continue this conversation.   Reply to Sender   View Thread   Recommend   Forward   You are subscribed to "AAG Diversity Ambassadors" as a...@aag.org.
