Abstract

This session will address how scholars and community organizers honor the both/and of working within and outside of the academy. Scholar and community mentors will share personal and professional knowledge with Pre-Conference participants in regard to engaging in humanizing scholarship and cultivating meaningful partnerships that promote community and transformational change. Attendees will leave with concrete strategies on how to authentically navigate place as scholars and/or activists while privileging service to community. The session will allow time for participants to engage in grounding practices, share experiences, ask questions and engage in discussion with scholar-mentors. Special attention will be paid to creating a sense of connection and belonging, especially if this will be held in a virtual environment.
