In this panel, we explore safety in academia, extending beyond physical protection to encompass social, emotional, and comprehensive dimensions. Addressing institutional harm, we advocate for inclusive environments. Join us to discuss empowerment for Black individuals, mentorship, student veterans, activism, and integrated healing in academia.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Identify and articulate the multifaceted dimensions of safety within academic environments, moving beyond traditional notions of security to encompass social, emotional, and comprehensive well-being.
  2. Analyze and assess the impact of institutional harm on marginalized communities within academia, with a specific focus on the experiences of Black individuals, student veterans, and advocates of social activism.
  3. Develop strategies to advocate for and create inclusive environments within academic institutions, fostering mentorship, empowerment, and healing for individuals navigating systemic barriers and challenges.
