Diversifying faculty

How do we diversify hiring practices in academia? It is rare to find universities whose faculty makeup is keeping pace with diversifying student bodies. If your university is lucky enough to be hiring in these times (or is in the midst of strategic planning for times ahead), here are a few practices to help achieve more equitable search and hiring processes:

BTA Network Updates

  • We are working on a series of concise summary articles on various themes: co-production, metrics, tenure, diversity, etc. to encapsulate the work we've done over the past two years. The goal is to compile a guidance document or toolkit to help network members enact change in their universities (e.g., materials you can present to administrators for support). We will start distributing them in the fall. If you are interesting in helping develop these materials, please email Christina at clocke@umn.edu.
  • Lizzie King's (UGA) working group is in the first stages of developing a curriculum on how to do co-produced research, and is open to new members. If you are interested in participating in this project, please email Lizzie at egking@uga.edu.
  • Thank you to those who participated in our co-production Inspire Session at the Ecological Society of America (virtual) conference last week. Our live Q&A session was very well attended and we received many excellent questions!
