Approach
As a humanities PhD and a higher education expert with over a decade of experience, Katina Rogers has a deep understanding of the importance of continually working to improve and update program structures—as well as the challenges and political sensitivities inherent in the task. Inkcap creates frameworks that are supportive, sustainable, research-driven, and community-oriented.
Equity, sustainability, engagement, and community are focal points in all aspects of Inkcap's work. We help institutions to develop policies and practices that support retention and wellbeing of faculty, students, and staff, while also fostering creative and high-impact scholarship that goes beyond the walls of the university.
