The OUWB Office of Diversity & Inclusion welcomes V. Thande Sulé, Ph.D., as the first presenter in the Diversity Lecture Series. Dr. Sulé is a critical race feminist hip-hop scholar, her work focuses on educational equity issues, including retention, sense of belonging and intercultural competencies. Her lecture is titled, “Navigating Race and Equity in Health Care.”
Dr. Sulé is an associate professor of Higher Education and the coordinator of the Masters in Higher Education program at Oakland University. Through her lecture, Dr. Sulé will aim to raise awareness about identity and power in a health care setting.
Specifically, her work has examined how underrepresented students and faculty contribute to teaching and learning environments on college campuses. Her work is published in leading education journals including the Journal of College Student Development, the Journal of Higher Education, Equity and Excellence in Education, Educational Policy, and the International Journal of Qualitative Studies in Education. Dr. Sulé is a travel enthusiast who is looking forward to upcoming trips to Indonesia and Columbia.
The purpose of the Diversity Lecture Series is to introduce ideas and perspectives to increase understanding of the value of diversity and to enhance OUWB's efforts toward inclusive excellence across the OUWB community.
The lectures are intended to inspire dialogue among all members of the community surrounding controversial and compelling narrative specific to diversity and inclusion in the healthcare environment and in our everyday lives. Future lectures in the series are planned for November and December.
Lectures are consistent with the OUWB Diversity & Inclusion mission — to facilitate and promote OUWB’s diverse and inclusive medical learning community through pipeline programs, student support and interest groups, educational programs, and community outreach events.
