Jelani Cobb
Opening Conference Keynote: The Half-Life of Freedom, Race, and Justice in America Today
Jelani Cobb is a staff writer at The New Yorker, writing on race, history, justice, politics, and democracy, as well as Columbia University’s Ira A. Lipman Professor of Journalism. He recently co-edited The Matter of Black Lives, a collection of The New Yorker’s most ground-breaking writing on Black history and culture in America, featuring the work of legendary writers like James Baldwin and Toni Morrison. Publishers Weekly writes, “Beyond the stellar prose, what unites these pieces, which range widely in length, tone, and point of view, is James Baldwin’s insight, paraphrased by Jelani Cobb, that ‘the American future is precisely as bright or as dark as our capacity to grapple with [the legacy of racism].’” Cobb also edited and wrote a new introduction for The Kerner Commission—a historic study of American racism and police violence originally published in 1967 —helping to contextualize it for a new generation. The condensed version of the report, called The Essential Kerner Commision Report, is described as an “essential resource for understanding what Cobb calls the ‘chronic national predicament’ of racial unrest” (Publishers Weekly).

Dr. Jonathan Metzl
Moving Beyond "Cultural Competency": Addressing How Structures Produce Health Inequalities
Jonathan Metzl MD, PhD, is an acclaimed physician, psychiatrist, and sociologist who speaks and writes on a range of topics including guns, gun violence, and race, gender, and social justice in healthcare. Dr. Metzl’s quest to understand the health implications of “backlash governance” led him across America’s heartland where he interviewed a range of everyday Americans. He examined how racial resentment fueled pro-gun laws in Missouri, resistance to the Affordable Care Act in Tennessee, and cuts to schools and social services in Kansas. And he shows these policies’ costs: increasing deaths by gun suicide, rising dropout rates, and falling life expectancies. White Americans, Dr. Metzl argues, must reject the racial hierarchies that promise to aid them but in fact lead our nation to demise. Dr. Metzl is the Frederick B. Rentschler II Professor of Sociology and Psychiatry, and the Director of the Center for Medicine, Health, and Society at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee. He received his MD from the University of Missouri, MA in humanities/poetics and Psychiatric internship/residency from Stanford University, and PhD in American Culture from University of Michigan, A 2008 Guggenheim fellow, Professor Metzl has written extensively for medical, psychiatric, and popular publications and appears regularly on television and radio.

Dr. Tabbye M. Chavous
Academic Diversity Officer Track Keynote
Diversity Leaders in Higher Education: Strategies, Skills and Conditions to Sustain Institutional Change
Dr. Tabbye Chavous is director of the National Center for Institutional Diversity (NCID), associate dean for diversity, equity, and inclusion for the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts, and a professor of education and psychology at the University of Michigan. She is also a co-founder and principal investigator of the university’s Center for the Study of Black Youth in Context. Dr. Chavous' research focuses on positive identity development among Black adolescents and emerging adults; achievement motivation processes — including relationships among students' racial/ethnic, gender, and academic and disciplinary identities; and the impacts of school/campus climates on students' academic, social, and psychological adjustment. Dr. Chavous’ recent research projects include National Science Foundation funded studies of contextual risk and resilience factors among underrepresented and racially minoritized undergraduate and graduate students pursuing STEM degrees. Her work also highlights how many racially minoritized students draw on their racial and cultural identities in ways that promote their motivation and persistence, including in settings where they are underrepresented and experience marginalization based on their multiple social identities (race/ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, religion, among other identities). In her 22 year faculty career, Dr. Chavous has over 16 years of experience in administrative roles focused on organizational and cultural change. In her current NCID director role, Dr. Chavous works to create, apply, and disseminate research-based models of programming and practice focused on broadening equity, access, and thriving in STEM at student, postdoctoral, and faculty levels.
