TSC: Mentoring Students of Color

In this Teaching Scholarship Circle (TSC), a four-session forum of roundtable discussions, we will grapple with the difficult issue of mentoring students of color. With the spate of violence against people of color over the past few years, and on the heels of the recent presidential election in which aspects of race were front and center, this issue has never been more important. Who are students of color? What does it mean to be “of color”? And how can we, in an educational environment, better aide these students in their academic journeys? We will discuss all of these issues, and more, in this TSC.

Person of Color

    What on earth does it mean to be a “person of color”!  Careful, don’t say “colored person.”  Is this not a minefield?  And BTW, I say this as a person of color myself…

    Dear Philip,

    Thank  you for such a rich discussion this afternoon.  I’m looking forward to other discussions, and would love to continue sharing these ideas beyond May 5.  There is so much to say, and the time goes by so quickly!
