Download iCal FileThe sudden deaths of two Black women university presidents, Joanne A. Epps (Temple) and Dr. Orinthia T. Montague (Volunteer State Community College), and the suicide of Antoinette “Bonnie” Candia-Bailey, Vice President of Student Affairs (Lincoln University) brought to light the impact of work-related stress on minoritized women in higher education. The battle weariness that comes from doing social justice work has mental and physical consequences that go unacknowledged and unaddressed in the academy. Yet it must be if we are to save ourselves for the principled struggle, where we work collectively in the service of justice. Join us as we discuss this important issue on Wednesday, April 17, 2024, 5-7pm CST. Out of our discussion, we hope to build a working group to equip our institutions with knowledge to promote accountability for the harms that prevent our shared work.
