Inclusive Professional Framework Workshops

We are offering two workshops on the Inclusive Professional Framework (IPF) in early 2024! The IPF was developed as part of the NSF Eddie Bernice Johnson INCLUDES Alliance.

A Closer Look at Intercultural Dynamics and Relationship Building within the Inclusive Professional Framework (IPF)

Wednesday, January 24, 2024

Are you already familiar with the Inclusive Professional Framework for Faculty (IPF: Faculty), or have you engaged in other identity-related professional development work in the past? Join this session to explore more deeply the intercultural awareness and relational and communication domains of the IPF: Faculty. An identity activity will be required as pre-work and the result will be part of the introduction activity to ensure that everyone is entering this workshop with a basic understanding of how their identity and other's identities impact their role and work. This workshop will go deeper into the cultural wealth model, multicontextuality, and how those impact communication while fleshing out the IPF: Faculty more so that application of the IPF is clearer.

Date & Time: Wednesday, January 24, 2024 at 2-5 ET / 1-4 CT / 12-3 MT / 11-2 PT
Let us know if you're interested in additional sessions of this workshop.
Location: Online in Zoom (Facilitators will follow up with confirmation)
Target Audience: current STEM faculty, graduate students or postdocs considering an academic career

Introduction to an Inclusive Professional Framework (IPF)

Thursday, March 21, 2024

The Inclusive Professional Framework for Faculty (IPF: Faculty) is a research-based approach that helps faculty become more inclusive and equitable in their teaching, advising, and research mentorship roles. The framework focuses on three key domains: identity, intercultural awareness, and relational and communication skills. Join this session to explore the identity domain of the IPF: Faculty with time to think about the wheel of privilege/identity wheel, the cultural wealth model, and initial applications to your faculty role. Personal identity work is fundamental to being able to apply the IPF effectively, authentically, and with confidence. There is room to deepen the conversation as participants wish in this workshop. The exercises will help you begin to develop a transferable equity mindset, and apply these skills to promote more inclusive classrooms and equitable advising and mentoring relationships.
