Speakers:
M. Chiara Manzini, PhD
Associate Professor
Child Health Institute of New Jersey
Hear from three amazing career teachers at Stanford and SJSU. For people who love teaching and lots of involvement with students and curricular design, there are great career options even at research institutions like Stanford.
In their efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, universities and employers are increasingly requiring prospective postdocs, fellows and employees to include a diversity statement in their application materials. This workshop will show you how to approach the diversity statement as a story about the intersections at which you stand and how those intersections inform your scholarship and teaching.
This panel will highlight PhD-holders who are leaders at Stanford but are not faculty members. These panelists will discuss their career paths and their roles, as well as offering advice for those who are interested in "alt-ac" or non-faculty academic careers.
Panelist: Dr. Elizabeth Ponder, Executive Director Stanford Chem-H
Panelist: Dr. Ayodele Thomas, Vice President for DEIB, Stanford
Panelist: Dr. Jeffrey Schwegman, Assistant Dean of Humanities & Sciences, Stanford
