Speaker: Artika Tyner is an attorney, educator, writer, and community advocate. At the University of St. Thomas School of Law, Dr. Tyner serves as Clinical Law Faculty and Director of Diversity.  She teaches in the Community Justice Project, an award-winning civil rights clinic.

Tyner received her B.A. from Hamline University (Major: English; Certificate: Conflict Studies). Due to her passion for advocating for social and educational policy reform, she decided to pursue graduate studies at the University of St. Thomas. She began her journey with law school since she recognized that the law is a language of power and sought to become versed in the law. Subsequently, Tyner earned her Masters of Public Policy in order to gain tools for effecting social change through policy reform efforts. Later, inspired by the legacy of W.E.B. Dubois, she obtained a Doctorate in Leadership. Further, Tyner employs writing as tool for advocacy by publishing articles on emerging civil rights topics.

In this session, we will explore some of the myths and realities of functioning as an adult student with ADHD. We will hear from several students who have ADHD about what has been helpful to them during their college careers. Finally, we will discuss ways faculty can accommodate and support students with varying abilities which will especially benefit students with ADHD.

First-Generation Student Experience by Jeff Davis, former English Professor and Director of

TRIO and McNair programs at Sonoma State University, offers faculty to focus on who our

students really are—moving the discussion from “access” in Higher Education to “success”

in Higher Education for all students. It offers faculty opportunities to think of students in

classroom situations from different personal and social locations as well as intersections of

those locations.

Brothers and Keepers: A Memoir by John Wideman gives us insights into the personal

aspects of the relationship between brothers one of whom is incarcerated and the other is

socially “successful”. Michelle Alexander’s book The New Jim Crow and her Commitment to

Community talk in Fall 2012 helped us see the larger social, legal, and systemic dimensions

of the gradual escalation of incarceration of African American men in the US since the

sixties. Wideman takes us into the personal dimensions of what happens to families and

their relationships.
