4. Call for New Graduate Student Appointees
Jessica Lussier and Elias Hage have done amazing work as our first graduate student appointees supporting the work of the SIG. Thank you, Jessica and Elias! As their two-year terms come to an end this spring, we will be recruiting for both positions: Webmaster, Equity and Diversity Resource Manager.
The Webmaster is responsible for maintaining the SIG website. The Equity and Diversity Resource Manager is responsible for adding new resources on these themes published in major philosophy of education journals to our online database. Questions may be directed to Rebecca Taylor. If interested in either role, please submit a CV and brief statement of interest (which may be included in the body of the email) by March 15. Any interested students may reach out to Rebecca Taylor at rmt@illinois.edu for more information and to submit materials.
