#ScholarSunday
One of my resolutions for 2018 is to participate regularly in #ScholarSunday (a wonderful initiative conceived by @raulpacheco). Because representation matters, I am choosing to highlight the work of a woman or PoC each week for the next 50 Sundays.

If you work in #HigherEd and are organizing a conference/panel this year hopefully you have realized that “manels” and all-male keynotes are unacceptable. “No qualified woman” or “no PoC applied” are lazy excuses and/or willfully bind to systemic barriers. Please do better.

Feel free to consider the individuals I highlight for the next 50 Sundays a starter list. I encourage others to supplement my suggestions.
