ThinkIR: BIPOC Scholars

BIPOC ThinkIR initiative aims to uplift BIPOC faculty at the University of Louisville by highlighting their research and providing open-access to BIPOC-produced scholarship through our institutional repository.

We recognize that faculty who identify as Black, Indigenous, and people of color are underrepresented and marginalized in academia. Substantially more Black (72.2%), Asian (70.7%), Latino/a (70.6%), and Native American (66.7%) faculty perceived a need to work harder than their peers to gain legitimacy compared to just 46.8% of White faculty who felt similarly.

Citation Diversity Statement

"Evaluating our reference lists is a practice of holding ourselves accountable but also of teaching ourselves about our fields and increasing awareness for others."
