It's important to note that everyone experiences diversity differently so it can be a little subjective based on your salients identities but there are basic tenets. If in doubt, look to the mission and diversity statement for the organization for which you are applying. (3/x)pic.twitter.com/cgny2IdUua

Regardless, you can safely assume that any university that requests a diversity statement is very committed to inclusivity and supporting its diverse population. Especially if you are applying to a diversity-related position. That statement can make or break you. (4/x)pic.twitter.com/Kq4nM77rs5

[DON'T] just talk about what you have learned from interacting with "diverse" people. That indicates that you may just be a taker, and we already have enough of those in academia. What are you offering? How will you contribute? The onus isn't on minoritized indiv. to teach you

[DON'T] Education of minoritized individuals is not the only factor in overcoming barriers. What we need is to educate the oppressors. But it's not the responsibility of the minoritized. Some of us are gracious to help. There's so much literature. Just read and absorb it.pic.twitter.com/kkUmKKBzvY
