Synopsis

This proceeding contains articles on the various ideas of the academic community presented at The 2nd Annual Faculty Senate Research Conference organized by the University of the District of Columbia (USA) on 05th February 2021. In February 2021, the exponential spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) and the effect of systemic racism resulted in dramatic changes in colleges and universities. These changes were extremely difficult for students, requiring faculty and institutions to stand in the gap to help students complete their studies. Moving to a completely online format was especially difficult for students traditionally served by UDC, but the institution and its faculty were better prepared than most to address this challenge. However, COVID-19 issues facing minority communities loomed larger, were more complex, and required a deeper societal dialogue.  The permeations of these issues ranged from vaccine hesitancy to social disparities that created impacts on social justice. As the only public, land-grant university in and for the capital city of the United States of America, and a Historically Black College and University, UDC was uniquely positioned to convene this discussion as a part of its 2021- 2nd Annual Faculty Senate Conference.
