Diversity Toolkit Update

Hi *|HTML:FNAME|*,

New Resources for Spring 2020

Just in time for Black History Month, the Office for Institutional Equity recently added information to its Diversity Toolkit that focuses on two rapidly growing Duke programs that showcase the evolving role of African Americans at Duke.

The John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute (FHI) provides a collaborative space for interdisciplinary humanistic research, conversations, and partnerships with an "emphasis on knowledge in the service of society," and delves into issues of race and social equity. The Institute provides numerous enriching research and educational programs, as well as a wide-range of public engagement events.

Thanks to 50 brave Duke black students who, in 1969, orchestrated a takeover of the Allen Building demanding a call for action beyond the desegregation of Duke campus that occurred six years prior, not only has the undergraduate student population grown to include approximately 10% black students, but also the Department of African & African American Studies was established in 1970. The Trinity College of Arts and Sciences celebrates the 50th anniversary of the department, which offers an interdisciplinary approach to "teaching and scholarship on Africa and people of African descent around the world, in particular the Black Atlantic."

We hope you find the Diversity Toolkit valuable. To learn more about additional OIE resources and services, visit us at oie.duke.edu.

Sincerely,
