Survival Syllabus for Faculty

I've been enjoying sharing notes with colleagues about the incredible resources out there that are entirely about how to survive the academy as a woman, a faculty of color, LGBTQ faculty, or precarious faculty (e.g. lecturer/adjunct).  Some colleagues and I co-created this survival syllabus that we hope might serve as a resource for faculty trying to navigate some of the exploitative and exclusionary apparatuses of higher education.  This list is just a start.  Please add to it!  It's truly meant to be a co-creation.
