Diversity Statement
The Graduate Program in the Department of English at the University of Colorado, Boulder, is committed to creating a place of belonging for our graduate students; we welcome all students, regardless of race, national origin, color, disability, religion, political philosophy, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression. Social justice听or听its absence have consistently and permanently been a theme in the literature we analyze. Thus, the department is especially sensitive to studying how varied and complicated human experience is. In our teaching and research, we focus on how, throughout history, oppression has adversely鈥攑ainfully and sometimes irrevocably鈥攊mpacted so many people. And yet as we chart these histories, we also emphasize the resilience of individuals and communities who, for too long, have not been acknowledged, represented, and studied鈥攐r admitted into graduate programs. This focus is crucial, for, in advancing diversity, equity, and antiracism, we strive to develop a whole program, and we strive to tell whole histories, those from multiple points of view. Such an approach benefits everyone by nurturing subtle and complex understandings in our writing and pedagogy.听Our faculty and graduate students鈥攅thnically, racially, nationally, and sexually diverse鈥攖each a range of classes on the intersections of the global and the local, the role of culture in producing social norms and identities, and the means and ends of diversity鈥攕ubjects of study that are integral to becoming engaged as both world and national citizens. Thus, inherent in our pledge is also the goal of developing ways that graduate students can develop their pedagogical skills and complement their studies in outreach work to help promote equity in the world outside the academy. A further aspect essential in our program is encouraging community鈥攇roups of scholars who work together, promote each other鈥檚 research and teaching, and who join faculty in events that help us share our ideas and hopes.
