Navigating academia for Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) can give rise to stress, insecurity, and uncertainty, given that BIPOC students/faculty face racism, discrimination, and microaggressions within the academy. BIPOC students/faculty are often left feeling othered because of increased scrutiny, surveillance, and marginalization, and they also expressed that increased racialized misperceptions negatively impact their educational experiences and career choices. To successfully fight systemic racism and White supremacy within academia, students, professors, and administrative leaders should, through collaboration, use a shared understanding of oppression and liberation. This session's focus is two-fold: to provide support and resources and strategize on enacting institutional change within academia and psychology as a discipline. Presenters from different levels in academia will share their experiences with systemic racism and how they dealt with these experiences. Next, presenters will invite attendees to share their experiences, focusing on discussing ideas for iterating inclusive and supportive educational settings and learning ways to be accomplices in engagement toward institutional change. We will welcome and hope for participants to share their experiential knowledge, research-based findings of practice and policy, and resources for tackling challenges facing scholars of Color.
