About this Event
Join NSF INCLUDES on Monday, September 21, at 12 PM (PT) as Julie R. Posselt discusses her new book Equity in Science: Representation, Culture, and the Dynamics of Change in Graduate Education. She’ll be in conversation with Gibor Basri (UC Berkeley) and Natasha Warikoo (Tufts University).
In Equity in Science, Julie R. Posselt examines existing equity, diversity, and inclusion efforts across astronomy, physics, chemistry, geology, and psychology. These ethnographic case studies reveal the subtle ways that exclusion and power operate in scientific organizations and, sometimes, within change efforts themselves. Posselt argues that accelerating the movement for inclusion in science requires more effective collaboration across boundaries that typically separate people and scholars—across the social and natural sciences, across the faculty-student-administrator roles, and across race, gender, and other social identities. Ultimately this book is a call for academia to place equal value on expertise, and on those who do the work of cultural translation.
