Faculty Engagement

As key members of the Martin Richard Institute for Social Justice (MRISJ) team, Faculty Partners serve as a voice for faculty in the institute鈥檚 planning and delivery of programs and events while building faculty awareness of and engagement with the institute.

Faculty partners work alongside staff to ensure that MRISJ programs and partnerships benefit from faculty expertise, while expanding and fostering connections and collaborations with academic departments and programs of study.

If you are interested in joining our MRISJ Faculty Friends list, please email mrisj@bridgew.edu with your name, email, department, and let us know your social justice interests.

Dr. Jose Lara

As academic director, I see my role as a collaborative one, working with the MRISJ, faculty, librarians, students and staff at 色香视频. Together, we can uphold and advance the mission of MRISJ by offering enriching and relevant academic and extracurricular experiences rooted in social justice. I am incredibly excited about our new minor, which will provide students with the necessary knowledge and abilities to implement what they learn in the classroom. I am eager to collaborate with others on various initiatives and to learn from those, who, like me, are dedicated to equity, diversity, inclusivity, and racial and social justice.

I am excited to work with MRISJ on the 2025 Summer Institute and creating entry points to discussing equity and justice with our 色香视频 community throughout the academic year. I look forward to offering "Justice Jaunts" a space to walk and talk about social justice topics.
