When I recorded this thoughtful conversation with Dr. Sydney Freeman it was clear that - rightfully, Sydney had a lot on his mind - especially around doing the WORK that is associated with Equity and Justice on campus. Sydney is a full professor of Adult, Organizational Learning and Leadership at the University of Idaho. He is a former National Holmes Scholar and has earned professional certifications in the areas of faculty development, online instruction, executive management, and organizational leadership. His research investigates the future of minority serving institutions, the faculty career-cycle, and higher education as a field of study.

It is challenging to get the work done when life is rosy and the institutional and the political landscape are in support of your work - especially with little to no administrative support. But, the difficulty is compounded when the world around you seems to want to see you fail. Sydney is wildly successful at the work he is doing, primarily because he DOES THE WORK in ways that are innovative and put a lens on coalition building.
