Framing the Dialogue for Systemic Equity Reform in STEM Faculty Careers

Abstract

The NSF-funded Envisioning and Enacting an Inclusive and Diverse STEM Professoriate (EEIDSP; NSF# 2041007) Framing the Dialogue for Systemic Equity Reform in STEM Faculty Careers report advances three big ideas we believe are essential for a national dialogue on systemic reform for equity in STEM faculty careers: 1) Tracing, Addressing, and Dismantling Systemic Inequities in STEM Faculty Careers; 2) Tracking in STEM Faculty Careers; and, 3) Broadening the Bar: Redefining What Counts in Hiring and Evaluation. We believe that engagement with these key ideas across the entire faculty career ecosystem (including institutions of higher education, funding agencies, disciplinary societies, publishers, and other parts of the ecosystem) will help to lay the foundation for building consensus towards key equity-advancing transformation in STEM faculty careers.
