How can universities join with industry leaders, workers, and policy makers to make workforce and skills training more effective, flexible, and inclusive? Author Van Ton-Quinlivan, CEO of Futuro Health and former executive vice chancellor of California Community Colleges, draws on her experience in the public and private sectors to address that question. Her book, WorkforceRx: Agile and Inclusive Strategies for Employers, Educators and Workers in Unsettled Times, proposes strategies to forge an “ecosystem of willing partners” who can leverage innovation, policy change, and funding to address the plight of adults who suffer economic hardship because of their lack of college degrees.

Ton-Quinlivan will be in conversation with Mitchell Stevens, a sociologist and professor in the Stanford University Graduate School of Education who is co-lead of the Stanford Pathways Lab. His recent research examines how higher education can grow to serve the needs of working adults without college degrees.

This event is free and part of the online book conversation series Academic Innovation for the Public Good. Register at https://ai4pg.gatherlearning.com/events/workforcerx-agile-and-inclusive-strategies-for-employers-educators-and-workers-in-unsettled-times to attend via Zoom.

What are the institutional forces stymieing faculty diversification and how can such deficiencies be rectified? That's the subject of this Aug. 24 event -- and of a newly published book by the speaker and author, Marybeth Gasman, Samuel DeWitt Proctor Distinguished Professor and associate dean of research in the Graduate School of Education at Rutgers University, where she also serves as executive director of the Samuel DeWitt Proctor Institute for Leadership, Equity & Justice and executive director of the Rutgers Center for Minority Serving Institutions.

Gasman will be in conversation with Mari Castañeda, professor of communications and dean of Commonwealth Honors College at University of Massachusetts, Amherst. Gasman's book, book, Doing the Right Thing: How Colleges and Universities Can Undo Systemic Racism in Faculty Hiring, published by Princeton University Press in June, takes a hard, insightful look at the issues surrounding the recruitment and hiring of faculty of color to understand why the numbers of faculty of color are so abysmal.
