What is it about?
It is important to support faculty of color (FoC) in the field of Communication Sciences and Disorders (CSD). FoC face unique obstacles that can be understood through an awareness of cultural competency, imposter syndrome, and microaggressive behaviors. Honest discussions driven by empathy should continue to occur as we seek to enhance the quality of CSD programs by supporting diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.
