Dr. Laura Harjo, associate professor of Native American Studies and an affiliate faculty member of Regional and City Planning, was recently elected as President of the Faculty Women’s Interest Group within the Association of Collegiate Schools of Planning (ACSP).
The ACSP Faculty Women’s Interest Group (FWIG) is an interest group within ACSP, a consortium of university-based programs offering degrees and credentials in Urban and Regional Planning. ACSP promotes planning education, research, service and outreach in North America and throughout the world.
FWIG works to encourage and support women faculty and graduate students in the planning academy and throughout their career. FWIG also welcomes those conducting research and outreach on planning issues critical to women. The group has a new focus on Intersectional Feminist/Anti-Racist/De-Colonial Planning and is working to encourage planners to include ending violence against all women and girls as an important part of their planning work.
Dr. Harjo’s interest and expertise in topics such as Indigenous planning and development, Indigenous feminisms, and community participatory methodologies will help her excel at this leadership role.
Congratulations to Dr. Harjo!
