On March 31, Associate Professor Samuel R. Aymer joined colleagues Mark Christian (African & African-American Studies, Lehman College) and Stanley Thangaraj (Anthropology, City College) for a Conversation with Male Faculty of Color at the CUNY Faculty Diversity and Inclusion Conference 2017. He discussed the unique challenges and opportunities that male faculty of color experience as they educate today’s CUNY students, and received a wonderful reception. Professor Aymer, whose research focuses on race and masculinity, chairs the Clinical Practice method area at Silberman. The CUNY Faculty Diversity and Inclusion Conference, now in its third year, was themed “CUNY at the Crossroads: Diversity and Intersectionality in Action.”
Social work is all about relationships; the relationships you develop with your clients, your colleagues, and the community. Silberman taught me the value of developing those relationships. When you join the Silberman community, you gain more than just an education, you gain a lifetime of resources.
