The Faculty Resource Network (FRN) is a consortium based at New York University (NYU) that has been widely acclaimed for its unique and successful approach to providing professional development opportunities to faculty members at its domestic and international partner institutions, the majority of which are minority-serving.
While moderating a session at the network’s most recent convening, Diverse host Dr. Jamal Watson conducted interviews with key FRN stakeholders.
Tune in as organizers and participants of FRN discuss their individual roles and the significance of this dynamic program.
Interviewees:
Autumn Bush — FRN Program Manager (NYU)
Dr. Stephen Maynard Caliendo — Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences; Professor of Political Science, North Central College
Dr. De Angela L. Duff — Industry Professor in Integrated Design & Media and an Associate Vice Provost, NYU
Dr. Eartha Lee Johnson — Dean of Faculty and Student Academic Services at Dillard University
Dr. Charlton McIlwain — NYU Vice Provost for Faculty Engagement and Development
Amit Mrig — President, Academic Impressions
Dr. Cirecie A. West-Olatunji — Director of the Center for Equity, Justice, and the Human Spirit, Xavier University of Louisiana
KEY POINTS:
QUOTABLES:
“The reality is most of our institutions don't invest or fund or have the resources to provide the necessary development for faculty that we probably should be doing.”
“In innovative research and new curriculum, we want to know what's happening on the ground so we can share the wealth with other institutions. And I think the FRN is a hub for that type of collaboration.”

This is an amazing podcast. I am glad you are stepping up and talking about a sensitive topic that is not talked about enough. Thank you for sharing this information. It effects students in higher education and the effects carry over into the workforce when the students graduate. Some students are tainted because there was not enough taught on diversity and the students perspective are skewed.
Such a great approach on the different perspectives surrounding diversity and how it affects all communities! Enjoying each episode!
I like that the episodes aren’t too long but are still very informative
What an amazing podcast! I’ve received so much value from these conversations and experiences. This podcast is shedding light on some very important topics, especially in todays climate. I have been loving every moment! Diverse In The Margins is most definitely worth the listen!
