The Blacklist: A Women, Trans & Non-Binary Faculty of Color Group
This group aims to bring together self-identified women, trans and non-binary faculty of color. The main goals are to facilitate mentoring networks, build a supportive community, and enhance the leadership capacity of women faculty of color at UMass Amherst and in their respective fields. By joining The Blacklist Group, you will receive emails about upcoming luncheons throughout the semester.
Transformative Justice Reading Group and Learning Community
This reading group is hosted by the Transformative Justice Coalition (TJC) and focuses on how to implement transformative justice into our daily lives. This is a year-long guided reading and discussion of the book, "Beyond Survival: Strategies and Stories from the Transformative Justice Movement," edited by Ejeris Dixon and Leah Lakshmi Piepzna-Samarasinha. Groups are open to all members of the UMass community, including students, staff, and faculty. TJC reading groups will begin in early November 2023 with a community-wide launch event and then first meetings of smaller reading groups. The groups will continue reading and discussing the book into the spring semester. Additional events and workshops will also be offered.
