The Department of Sociology Spring 2023 Film Series Presents: "Clusterluck"
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.
Please join us for the screening of "Clusterluck", and the Q&A session immediately following.
Light refreshments will be served.
