Session: What Stands in Our Way?: Barriers to Diversity and Inclusion (2014 SACNAS National Conference)

Friday, October 17, 2014: 10:15 AM-11:45 AM

LACC 408B (Los Angeles Convention Center)

Chair:

Maggie Werner-Washburne, PhD, Regents' Professor, University of New Mexico

Description: In 30 years, there has been little change in inclusion of minorities among STEM faculty and other professions requiring advanced degrees. What are the barriers to inclusion and how do we overcome them? Recent social science research provides important clues. National research leaders will present and discuss their findings.

Sponsored by: Once we are chosen, I will decide who gets to sponsor it, UNM or Wisconsin or UCSF.
