Welcome, scholars!
Recently, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s “Toward an Anti-Racism Campus” action grant supported the establishment of a Multicultural Scholars Collaborative on campus. This Collaborative will serve as an institutionalized network to enhance the research productivity of scholars of color, promote retention of BIPOC faculty, and enhance student retention into this pipeline.

Land Acknowledgment
“We acknowledge in Milwaukee that we are on traditional Potawatomi, Ho-Chunk and Menominee homeland along the southwest shores of Michigami, North America’s largest system of freshwater lakes, where the Milwaukee, Menominee and Kinnickinnic rivers meet and the people of Wisconsin’s sovereign Anishinaabe, Ho-Chunk, Menominee, Oneida and Mohican nations remain present.”

Labor Acknowledgement
“We must acknowledge that much of what we know of this country today, including its culture, economic growth, and development throughout history and across time, has been made possible by the labor of enslaved Africans and their ascendants who suffered the horror of the transatlantic trafficking of their people, chattel slavery, and Jim Crow. We are indebted to their labor and their sacrifice, and we must acknowledge the tremors of that violence throughout the generations and the resulting impact that can still be felt and witnessed today.”
