Invisible Labor and Emotional Currency

STREAMING NOW !!

What does it really cost to be “the only one in the room”?

In this pod’versation from Insufferable Academics, LLC. presents Coffee & Conversation, the authors of Invisible Labor and Emotional Currency: The Unseen Corollary Impact of Cultural Taxation in Higher Education come together for a candid conversation about the work that often goes unrecognized, uncompensated, and unacknowledged in higher education.

Facilitated by Tosha Bright, Dr. Jálin B. Johnson, Dr. Nakisha Castillo, Dr. Natalie V. Nagthall, and Dr. Hawani Negussie explore what happens when minoritized faculty are asked to carry responsibilities that extend well beyond their formal job descriptions. Mentoring students who share their identities, serving on diversity and inclusion committees, advocating for marginalized communities, translating institutional culture for others, responding to racialized experiences, and providing emotional support can all become part of the job—even when that labor is neither formally recognized nor reflected in workload, compensation, promotion, or tenure
