While scientists conduct their work in collaborative teams both, locally, nationally, and globally, participation in teams is not necessarily diverse. In some disciplines where women and people of color are severely underrepresented, opportunities to collaboratively engage may experience additional challenges. This workshop builds on existing empirical work to address how academic faculty can more deliberately construct and meaningfully collaborate in ways that are more inclusive and equitable.
Cosponsored by the UMass Amherst ADVANCE program, Institute for Social Science Research, and Office of Faculty Development. Lunch included; registration required, available here.
