REST: Radical Equity through Structural Transformation
The REST: Radical Equity through Structural Transformation program transforms academic workplace culture by challenging extractive structures and centering the lived knowledge of caregiving individuals.
REST is an initiative that reimagines what it means to work, grow, and thrive in higher education, especially for caregivers. REST challenges harmful workplace norms by recognizing rest as essential infrastructure, honoring caregiving expertise, and celebrating diverse forms of achievement. Through opportunities for rest, financial support, and clear career pathways, the initiative transforms our university into a workplace where people can pursue their goals without sacrificing well-being, dignity, or community.
