ERM Announcements, October 15, 2021

Posted on by

Dear ERM members,

 

I hope those of you attending the Frontiers in Education Conference are having a good time either connecting in person or virtually. We will hold a virtual ERM business meeting in the next few weeks; I will send out a date and time soon. Lately, I have been writing a lot of recommendation letters, supporting edits of applications, and thinking about conferencing.

 

Dr. Monique Ross, introduced me to the phrase “lift as you climb.” This phrase is from a longer quote from Mary Church Terrell (more here) and is associated with the work by her and Sojourner Truth, Frances Ellen Watkins Harper, Harriet Tubman, and Ida B. Wells in the Black suffrage movement. “Lifting as we climb” was adopted as the motto of the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) as they fought not only for voting rights but also for progress at the intersections of race and gender. This phrase has become a way to describe the consideration of where you have been and an intentional investment in others.

 

While I am not engaged in the same context or struggle as those august women, this phrase has resonated with me, and I think of it often. It is a reminder that supporting and nurturing other peoples’ talent is what lasts. It’s also a reminder that the efforts started by these women are far from over. Often academia focuses on an individual’s work or reputation; indeed, those aspects are the typical evaluation criteria for hiring, tenure, promotion, and awards. And, those systems have been historically constructed to benefit white cishet men. As ERM works towards our strategic goals to be a community where its members feel welcome, included, and that they have a voice as well as one that recognizes its members, I hope that conferences can provide ways to support, uplift, and connect with those who are new to the community and those who are behind us in their academic journey. We also have an opportunity, particularly those of us with privilege in our academic networks, to intentionally work against a system and lift others .

 

All my best,

Allison
