Scholarship to Practice 10/22/20

Bridget Burns, Executive Director of the University Innovation Alliance, and Derrick Tillman-Kelly, Director of UIA's Fellows Program and Network Engagement, speak with Dr. Richard Reddick, professor and associate dean at The University of Texas at Austin. He shares his thoughts on the phenomenon of cultural taxation, a well-intentioned but ultimately unfair consequence in many higher ed institutions seeking to practice equity and inclusion. Topics include:

• What cultural taxation looks like and why it's a problem
• The difference between taxation and legitimate participation
• Why administrators need to step up and address this situation
• Allyship is everybody's work because all groups benefit
• A list of resources for understanding cultural taxation
