Collected resources and news regarding our Virtual Visiting Scholars.
The two newest reports from the ARC Network's Emerging Research Workshops have been released. The reports, "Using Big Data and Algorithms to Foster Equity in STEM" and "Cultivating Equity In STEM Through Inclusive Language," cover research and promising practices on each of the topics and suggest new directions for future work. We invite the community to share their expertise on the topics. To read the reports and share your input visit https://www.equityinstem.org/categories/erw-reports.
A selection of equity, diversity, and inclusion-related articles.
"It’s a common refrain that higher education’s commitment to diversity is performative. But there isn’t a blueprint on how to overcome barriers and turn platitudes into practices. A pair of new papers studying how to improve diversity, equity, and inclusion in medical schools and medical-residency programs tries to bridge that gap, offering administrators across higher ed ideas for change that might stick."
Publications, reports, or communications relevant to equity in the academy. All resources listed below are available in the ARC Network online resource library.
“Recent social movements have revealed the systemic ways that racism and sexism remain entrenched in academic cultures. Faculty workload is taken up, assigned, and rewarded in patterns, and these patterns show important yet overlooked areas where inequity manifests in academe. Faculty from historically minoritized groups are disproportionately called upon to do diversity work and mentoring, while women faculty do more teaching and service . . . This report summarizes the authors’ findings and insights learned from the Faculty Workload and Rewards Project (FWRP), an NSF ADVANCE-funded action research project.”
