The Diversity Scholars Network is a scholarly community comprised of tenured, tenure-track, clinical and research faculty, research staff, independent scholars, and postdoctoral fellows that are committed to advancing understandings of historical and contemporary social issues related to identity, difference, culture, representation, power, oppression, and inequality — as they occur and affect individuals, groups, communities, and institutions. We value the scholarly work of graduate students, doctoral students and candidates. We welcome their applications to the DSN after their terminal degrees have been conferred. 

We seek individuals who are actively engaged in diversity research. Diversity research and scholarship engages and equips members of society with critical ways to think about their commonalities and differences that can be used to improve daily interpersonal and intergroup interactions, institutional and organizational practices, and policies. Members of the DSN share the common goal of employing their research and scholarship to advance equity and inclusion throughout our society. More information on our framework for Diversity Scholarship is available on our website.
