Listen Now - Registrar work is social justice work, with Doug McKenna

 

Tashana, Porta and Ingrid get serious and silly with Doug McKenna, host of AACRAO's For the Record podcast and George Mason University Registrar. The group discusses DEI topics Doug has covered and what he has learned as host, including the importance of recognizing that learning is a journey. Doug talks about why he believes institutions should consider getting rid of grades altogether, why records work is social justice work, and why "certainty" isn't necessarily the job of records professionals. This is a fun, enlightening, and delightfully winding conversation so take the time to listen, learn, and (hopefully) have a good time.
