\"#ScholarStrike\"<\/p>\n

This blog post is a response to the #Scholar Strike<\/a> that’s being organized by Dr. Anthea Butler of UPenn and Kevin Gannon, director of the Center for Excellence in Teaching and Learning at Grand View University.<\/div>\n

I am compiling a selection of e-texts here and plan to sit in front of The Ames Library (Tues 9-12:30, Wed 11-2:30). I will be happy to listen to and\/or share them with anyone who passes by. Masks and social distancing will be observed!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Many of these links go to IWU sources but anyone in IWU’s community can contribute to this list anonymously<\/a> and is welcome to read them aloud in front of the library or reflect on them individually.<\/div>\n

She\u00a0provided an oral history<\/a> to the archives’ collection in which she\u00a0relates examples of IWU\u2019s lack of progress on lasting change with regard to hiring and retaining Black faculty.<\/div>\n
