The Harvard Graduate School of Education will expand its work on diversity and inclusion through intentional hiring and planning in its summer programming, HGSE Dean Bridget Terry Long and Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging Director Tracie D. Jones said in interviews with The Crimson.
As the school plans to reopen this fall, Long said the school is investing in staff keenly dedicated to diversity and inclusion.
“We need to make more progress in terms of action, and so we’ve been investing to increase our capacity, more staff focused on these issues, expertise being brought in,” Long said.
Jones said the school has hired a senior instructional coach for anti-racist pedagogy and is in the process of hiring more staff, including a librarian who specializes in critical pedagogy.
