Why is it important?

Through their participation in an inquiry intervention designed to centralize equity-mindedness, faculty rethought their racial equity efforts in hiring as an action-oriented, organizational effort to use equity-minded language with the intention to create a more racial equitable campus culture.

Perspectives

Writing this article was exciting because I got to learn how a group of faculty visualized their hiring structure as an opportunity to transform their campus racial culture. My hope is for this article to continue the conversation on creating more racially equitable hiring structures that focus on addressing the culturally embedded barriers that exist in one's local context.
