Our Services

CONSULTATIONS

Our individualized consultation provides customized support to you and your research team. From research design to dissemination, we are your thought partner to help ensure your project is both rigorous and designed to make a difference.

Whether you are a doctoral student searching for some guidance on your dissertation project or an academic seeking to design your next big research project we are here for you. We partner with you to make sure your research project is all that you imagined it could be, and reflects the values and commitments that you bring to the work.

Professional Development

We know that being a scholar of color can add both challenges and opportunities for your work. We also know that being an insider to the scholarly interests you have is an asset requiring skills that you should develop and refine. Our professional development courses and workshops help you to do just that. No matter what your level or stage of career.

 We call this professional development, but it is really a suite of services that range from in-person or live workshops, to pre-recorded courses that you can access online as you need. Please feel free to also reach out to request more personalized support, or to share ideas about workshops or courses we should offer. We want to hear from you!
