5th FGLI Consortium Annual Colloquium

In celebration of our new partnership with the Emma Bloomberg Center for Access and Opportunity,  we invite you to gather with us at Princeton University* this spring for the 5th FGLI Consortium Annual Colloquium

Annual Colloquium Overview

Our Annual Colloquium is an opportunity for focused discussion and reflection on an emerging and important topic or issue in our work. Intentionally smaller in size and more specific than our Conference , the Colloquium allows participants to engage deeply in conversation about the intersection of theory and practice in the field. During the colloquium, participants have the opportunity to discuss recently published scholarship and to reflect together about how this scholarship might inform our on-the-ground work, as well as FGLI’s programing for the upcoming year. 

Colloquium Theme

Our Colloquium this year will focus on solidarity and coalition. Over the past five years, our campuses and organizations have made great strides in expanding the population of FGLI students. In that time, we’ve worked to build strong community among our FGLI students, enhancing their sense of belonging and expanding visibility. And we have created programs to support and empower our FGLI students as they navigate these spaces and advocate for their needs. Yet, in order to promote lasting and meaningful change on our campuses, we also need support and advocacy from allies in the broader campus population including faculty, staff, alumni, and our continuing-generation, higher income students. How might our FGLI offices best take on this work, while maintaining high-touch support of and community-building efforts within our FGLI student communities? Colloquium participants will read scholarship focused on the politics and practice of allyship and solidarity, using this research as a springboard for pragmatic discussion of our expanding work on campus, like trainings, visibility campaigns, and partnership building.
