Power, Systems, & Structures

Dr. Stephany Santos, an Assistant Professor in Residence and Associate Director & Dr. David G. Embrick, an Associate Professor, both at the University of Connecticut, have made valuable contributions to ODI as faculty affiliates this spring semester. Their disciplines and unique personal trajectory have provided them with perspectives on not only the structural barriers that students and professors experience in their educational journey but also ways in which the field of academia can be improved. Join us as we hear how they have both been impacted by femtors/mentors who ignited a passion in them for antiracist teaching, which they now actively work to pass on to the next generation of scholars.
