Call for participants | YECREA Workshop Series on Positionality and EDI in Academic Careers

Alba Diez Gracia Event

YECREA is excited to announce that applications are now open for our Workshop Series on Equity, Diversity & Inclusion (EDI) in Academic Careers; supported by a grant from the ECREA EDI Committee.
Early-career scholars are increasingly expected to articulate their positionality, demonstrate EDI awareness, and present coherent academic identities, all while navigating a highly competitive job market. This four-session, fully funded workshop offers a guided, practice-oriented space to develop exactly these skills.

Across the series, participants will:

  • Clarify what EDI means in academia and how it shapes CVs, applications, and career paths
  • Work with their own biography as a professional resource
  • Build job-position literacy and learn to decode academic job calls
  • Craft a strong, meaningful teaching statement rooted in pedagogical values and EDI commitments

Workshop dates

Four consecutive Thursdays — 26.02.26, 5.03, 12.03, 19.03

  • 17:00–18:30 CET
  • Participation is free of charge
  • Certificate available for attending at least 3 of 4 sessions
  • Eligibility: Open to YECREA members who meet early-career criteria (non-tenured academic positions).
