Guess Who's Coming to Campus: What Demographic Changes Mean for Colleges and Reporters EWA

  • Over the next two years, the nation’s pool of high school graduates is projected to shrink to the lowest level in nearly a decade. And this time, more of those students will come from groups that higher education has traditionally struggled to serve, including students from low-income families, first-generation college-goers, and black and Latino students. What approaches are helpful to propel students from such groups to college degrees? How can men catch up to women when it comes to postsecondary success? How can colleges better serve nontraditional students such as adult learners and veterans? What does demographic change mean for the future of higher education?

    • Diversifying Economic Quality (Div.E.Q.) is a new online resource where economists can find and share information on effective teaching practices in economics, focusing particularly on practices that encourage women, students of color, and members of other underrepresented groups to continue study in our discipline. The American Economic Association's Committee on the Status of Minority Groups in the Economics Profession supports this project as part of its commitment to advancing diversity in the profession. This session introduces attendees to the structure and content of Div.E.Q., demonstrates some of the teaching strategies it offers, and gives you the chance to contribute to this dynamic resource. Visit Div.E.Q. at http://www.DiversifyingEcon.org. Follow @Div_E_Q on Twitter.


Past:

The Research Network on Racial and Ethnic Inequality with support from the Economics Department at Duke University and pending support from the National Science Foundation invites applications for the Diversity Initiative for Tenure in Economics (DITE), a mentoring program to facilitate the transition for junior faculty members holding doctorates in economics from assistant professor to tenured associate. DITE will involve pairing junior scholars with distinguished senior mentors working in related fields to receive guidance and potentially to develop collaborative research projects. DITE will provide resources for fellows and their mentors to meet at Duke University May 30-June 1, 2013, to visit their mentor at the mentor's campus, and to convene for a mini conference at Duke's economics department during the 2013-2014 academic year.

To apply please submit a CV, describe your trajectory in terms of research and progress toward tenure, provide a projection of your future research goals and aims with an indication of the type of support you expect you'll need, and provide an indication of your personal contribution toward enhancing diversity in the academy. Applicants must be permanent residents and have completed their doctorate before the application deadline.

If you have any further questions about DITE please contact either Sandy Darity (william.darity@duke.edu) or Rhonda Sharpe (sharperv@duke.edu ). If you are interested, please submit your materials by April 19, 2013.
