Posted: 2/4/2023 (CSDE Research)
This virtual panel discussion features allies and PhD demographers of color who know about public scholarship. There will be a 60 minute workshop by our Scholars Strategy Network allies, followed by 30-min Q&A and discussion facilitated by DoC. Panelists will share about their career and life experiences. Join us for a sincere discussion of pivots, resilience, and hope. We are organizing this panel in response to feedback gathered at the 1st ever member-organized Demographers of Color & Allies Reception in April 2020 and at events since.
