Discrimination against scholars of color, unfair labor practices, attacks on affirmative action and the humanities and critical race studies... Is the university doomed, says self-identified optimist Lorgia García Peña, keynoting here at #POD23.

“Saying yes to exploitative labor does not guarantee success…. promotion or tenure” Amazing keynote by Dr. Lorgia Garcia Peña #POD23
