The Department of Sociology Spring 2023 Film Series Presents: "Clusterluck"

The Department of Sociology will be holding a special screening of the award-winning documentary titled, "Clusterluck". This short film was produced by one of our very own Sociology affiliates, Dr. Candace Hall. This event is co-sponsored by the Office of the Provost.

Film Synopsis

Long story short-Black faculty are a few in the academy, less than 6%. This documentary short, clusterluck, captures the intentionality of recruiting Black faculty to Southern Illinois University Edwardsville; and explores the creation of an international community to support Black faculty toward thriving and experiencing joy at the institution. The film is a digital visualization of my research on Black faculty experiences in academia and encourages higher education leaders to reimagine recruitment and hiring practices necessary for diversification of the professoriate. I am hopeful this work shows the world what is possible for Black faculty when recruitment is done with care and intentionality.
