The 部门 戏剧和电影 embraces a notion of an intellectual and artistic community enriched and enhanced by diversity and inclusion across multiple dimensions including race, ethnicity and national origins, gender and gender identity, 性取向, 阶级和宗教. We are especially committed to redressing the representational balance of those populations who have been historically excluded from cultural participation in the United States.

We are committed to attracting, recruiting and retaining a diverse population of faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, 和工作人员. The inclusion of underrepresented groups in the Department is important in order to address and understand systematic inequalities facing US institutions and society, to facilitate a new generation of ideas and leaders within the disciplines of 戏剧和电影, and to cultivate civil discourse among diverse parties. We are committed to provide the support necessary for the success of all members of the department.

We emphasize these concerns through our hiring practices, 教学任务, community engagement, and through our casting procedures in our theatrical and film productions. We encourage those individuals from underrepresented groups to join our intellectual and artistic community.
