Grantham recognized for work on diversity; equity
Tarek Grantham, a professor in the Department of Educational Psychology, was recently recognized for his work on diversity and equity issues by the University of Georgia’s Student Government Association (SGA).
Grantham, along with nine other faculty members, received SGA’s Outstanding Professor Recognition Award during the association’s annual Professor Recognition Ceremony. The faculty members were selected based on numerous criteria, including “clear articulation of impact and evidence of dedication to the education of students both in and out of the classroom.”
My goal is to contribute to students’ development of effective ways to identify and nurture gifts and talents in themselves and others, particularly students from underrepresented groups," said Grantham. “I hope students develop critical cultural consciousness and courageous creativity around diversity issues, understanding that a focus on equality is not enough to promote equity.
