Institutions of Higher Educations can advance racial equity and social justice. Yet, providing relevant professional development for faculty and staff at these institutions is necessary. This session highlights one such program, Racial Equity Advocates, that provides support for faculty to actively interrupt inequities using the Courageous Conversations about Race Protocol (Singleton, 2021), role play, and mindful inquiry to address a problem of practice within their own context. The session will explain the program, provide opportunities for practice with the approaches used, and ask participants to consider what would be necessary to enact a similar program on their campuses.
