Abstract:
Cultivating a sense of belonging among faculty of color decreases feelings of isolation and marginalization, translating to increased job satisfaction and retention. This roadmap for cultivating a sense of belonging for faculty of color highlights the following critical strategies: (1) adopting inclusive leadership practices, (2) understanding professional and personal identities, (3) mitigating cultural taxation, (4) minimizing microaggressions and racism, (5) providing mentorship, and (6) prioritizing acculturation over assimilation. By following this roadmap, physical therapy programs can work toward cultivating a greater sense of belonging for faculty of color, enabling them to thrive in their roles and feel valued and respected as integral members of the academic community.
