People of Color Conference, Seattle, WA

This was my 9th NAIS PoCC. I would like to address a panel I organized and chaired about faculty of color and boarding schools. North American boarding schools hold a certain mystique among the American populous. While much of this is generated through falsities found in popular culture films that present a level of homogeneity and privilege, such as Dead Poets Society, other perceptions are institutionalized, which tend to place faculty of color on the outside looking in to the window. In the 21st century, a number of boarding schools have increased their efforts to extend full citizenship to faculty of color, noting a need for a talented diverse faculty. This panel of current and former boarding school members offered a critique that explored the extent to which boarding schools have advanced in being fully inclusive to faculty of color. Each panelist reflected on their experiences. We had a standing room only session. That felt great. Moreover, participants were pretty open in asking their questions and contributing some commentary to the conversation.

    This blog reflects the views of a soul brotha who believes in radical love. I must confess a love for Black & brown folk, gay folk, bi & transgender folk, Asian folk, non-binary folk, and my white allies.
