In this workshop, Helen Moore presents research-based opportunities to identify, debate and work to resolve subtle organizational practices that reinforce implicit biases in the sciences. She will discuss how evaluation processes within academic organizations reproduce biases, consider whether STEM pedagogy is biased to such an extent that evaluations by students and peers are skewed and might need modification to best assess merit and learn how implicit biases in science and its sub-fields influence our letters of reference and promotion and tenure reviews. Then, she will examine some merit and research-based strategies for evaluating for excellence in STEM fields.
Helen Moore is the Aaron Douglass Professor of Sociology at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. Her scholarship focuses on the sociology of women, feminist ethics in social science research and practice, and structural inequalities in higher education and public schools. She is the author of three books and over thirty-nine peer-reviewed articles, spanning three decades.
