Specifically, in physical sciences objectivity is revered; and upheld as the great equalizer leading us to innovation and is foundational to discovery. However, objectivity has perhaps prevented open commentary about the human aspects of science. Bias is inherent in us all, and privilege has shaped who we deem worthy to hold the title of scientist.
During this session, participants will review:
- Historical discrimination and the ways systemic biases impact access to and success in Academia.
- The barriers to success which are present in higher education challenge us to consider the impact on current and future scientists in our country.
- Considerations for ethical sociodemographic data collection and complementary qualitative data.
