It is time to move past the words—the well-crafted statements circulated by groups and organizations across the academy, the scholarly writing as displacement, the formal and informal critiques—as if they had some recognizable impact. Each of these rhetorical moves can be valuable in helping to effect larger cultural and structural shifts. Yet, alone, a variety of evidence suggests that these forms of communication fail at effecting diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Therefore, through our varied areas of research and lived work experiences, we focus attention toward actions as sites of power and potential: (a) in faculty emotional labor and work (McLeod), (b) at various levels of university administration and structural change (Ashcraft and Allen), (c) in the time-based practices associated with the ways we teach and mentor graduate students (Ballard), and (d) in our corpus of scholarship (Ganesh and Zoller).

是时候超越这些词了——学术界的团体和组织传播的精心设计的声明，作为替代的学术写作，正式和非正式的批评——好像它们有一些可识别的影响。这些修辞动作中的每一个都可以帮助实现更大的文化和结构转变。然而，仅凭各种证据表明，这些交流形式无法影响多样性、公平性和包容性 (DEI)。因此，通过我们不同领域的研究和生活工作经验，我们将注意力集中在作为权力和潜力场所的行动上：(a) 在教师情绪劳动和工作 (McLeod)，(b) 在大学管理和结构变化的各个层面（阿什克拉夫特和艾伦），
