Session Type: Paper Session
This session shows how graduate students of color experience, resist, and reshape predominantly white institutional spaces as political and policy landscapes shift. Presenters examine how students seek identity safety, build counterspaces, respond to anti-DEI legislation, and make meaning as Black men and women of color. Participants will practice ways to create belonging, resist exclusion, and transform education.
