DESCRIPTION:Speaker Information: Dr. Lori Patton Davis\, Indiana University
 Given the current socio-political climate in the US and on college campuse
 s\, a number of questions have emerged regarding the role of higher educat
 ion in addressing oppression and systemic inequities. Furthermore\, concer
 ns about the capacity of higher education institutions to engage in substa
 ntive change are among the most critical issues facing institutional leade
 rs\, faculty\, and students. In this presentation\, Dr. Patton argues that
  efforts to address societal inequities and those situated in higher educa
 tion might be best implemented by examining Black women’s work and contrib
 utions. In other words\, how higher education moves forward toward transfo
 rmation should be grounded in the model and examples demonstrated by Black
  women. During the presentation\, Dr. Patton will offer concrete examples 
 of the strategies and efforts Black women have enacted toward change. Argu
 ing the point that there has been no substantive societal change without t
 he influence of Black women\, Dr. Patton will also offer an explanation re
 garding the seeming reluctance to acknowledge Black women’s labor despite 
 the benefits gained by numerous populations. Dr. Patton will discuss the o
 verwhelming invisibility of Black women’s contributions\, as well as the n
 eed for a more intersectional approach to institutional transformation tha
 t is grounded in the traditions\, intellect\, and work of Black women.Cost
