Purpose/Responsibilities

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee seeks to lift up voices of historically marginalized or underrepresented scholars in IARR. We are currently working to implement two brown bag opportunities for IARR members to briefly showcase any work that aligns with this goal, and for IARR members around the globe to discuss how they are navigating current social and political violence on marginalized members of society. Our top priority this year in creating the call for, and in evaluating, DEI awards is empowering emerging scholars from marginalized backgrounds to continue their work.
