What is it about?
This study explores the skills and talents that two Black male, tenure track, faculty members gained through their prior work as staff members in diversity offices. The researchers employ a more expansive version of ethnography to explore their time as faculty members.

Why is it important?
This work is important as there is a common perception that people who engage in diversity work can only work with people of Color. Further, this work highlights important, transferable skills that people can gain through diversity work.
Perspectives
I believe this research has the potential to empower those doing work in equity, diversity, and inclusion.
