The topic for this year’s THINKposium will be “Intersectionality: Unpacking the Interactions of Identities”. The day-long program will provide participants tools and resources for using an inter-sectional framework to explore the multiple ways race, class, gender and other aspects of identity interact with classroom, workplace and educational experiences for students and faculty/staff at Carolina.

Registration for the THINKposium at the Carolina Inn is available; space is limited.

Strayhorn is a professor of higher education at The Ohio State University, where he also serves as director of the Center for Higher Education Enterprise, senior research associate at the Kirwan Institute for the Study of Race and Ethnicity and faculty affiliate in the Todd A. Bell National Resource Center on the African American Male.

The program is co-hosted by the Office of Diversity and Multicultural Affairs, the Center for Faculty Excellence and the College of Arts and Sciences with support from the Employee Forum and the Institute of Arts and Humanities.
