Making the Diversity Investment: Building Inclusive Research Environments in STEM
Abstract
This presentation will provide an overview of a two-hour workshop on diversity and inclusion in STEM fields. Moving beyond diversity as an outcome of institutional goodwill or responsibility, this presentation will encourage meaningful investment in diversity at the departmental level through the adoption of practices that create Inclusive Research Environments. We suggest that IREs can foster a positive return on an institution’s diversity investment and also discuss the limits of this approach as a mechanism for institutional change.
