Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Academe: Confronting Bias

This seminar will explore the ways in which conscious and unconscious bias impacts the careers of underrepresented minority, LGBTQ, and women academics. We will study topics such as unconscious bias, stereotype threat, ambient belonging, microaggressions, and everyday racism with a lens toward understanding how these impact academics. We will also consider ways to confront bias so that we can design a more equitable and diverse academe for the future.
