Stanford graduate students are invited to join us for a speaker series examining the presence of heteropatriarchy in academia.
We are motivated by this specific moment in time, during which COVID has exacerbated inequalities and laid bare the shortcomings of our educational institutions as it pertains to supporting and advancing women, people of color, LGBTQIA+/queer individuals, and gender non-conforming individuals in particular. We are in a unique moment in which we are attempting to return to some form of hybrid or in-person work, and can claim this opportunity to reimagine our practices and recreate our support systems.
Our aim is to provide both structural and individual/community level perspectives. We will provide tools and support for navigating academia without placing the burden for institutional change on an individual’s shoulders. Guests speakers will present research for both a systematic view and for examples of how research may inform social and institutional change.
The series is generously funded by Stanford's Vice Provost for Graduate Education.
