Diversity in Academia: Racism, Privilege, & #BlackInNeuro

In this episode of Dear Grad Student, Elana chats with 5th year doctoral candidate, Anny Reyes (@AnnyReyesNeuro), about the value of diversity in academia, privilege, and the role that grad students can play in changing this broken, racist system. They also discuss #BlackinNeuro week, which, since recording, has become a global movement of promoting the voices, research, and work of Black students in every discipline of study. The #BlackinNeuro website, Twitter page, and donation page are below as well as the current schedule for #BlackIn Twitter movements throughout the upcoming academic year. You can also find additional diversity resources below.
