Straddling Class in the Academy

Plenary speaker and Visiting Scholar: dr. becky martinez

Social class identity and class carry a complexity of obscure definitions, fluidities, and a sense of taboo while impacting most any area of a college campus. Class involves forms of capital beyond the financial, even though that is often the start- and end-point when learning about and discussing it in any formal way. This plenary will encourage participants to consider concepts and lived experiences related to class; recognize exclusionary practices, procedures, as well as written and unwritten norms; and explore ways to engage class in more equitably.

Santos Innovation Award Lunch

Join colleagues in celebration of the 2019-20 Santos Innovation Award winner, to be announced.  Established in honor of Dr. Karen Santos, founding director of the CFI, the award celebrates Karen’s vision of faculty empowering faculty. Award winners are recognized for making a direct contribution to CFI programs, or by expanding the impact of the CFI mission within JMU, on other campuses, or in professional and academic societies.  After a brief award ceremony, participants will have time to network with colleagues over lunch before heading to the afternoon sessions.
