How can you address resistance to diversity and inclusion in research projects?

由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Diversity and inclusion are essential values for any research project, as they can enhance the quality, relevance, and impact of the research. However, not everyone may share these values or understand their benefits. Resistance to diversity and inclusion can come from various sources, such as personal biases, institutional norms, disciplinary traditions, or external pressures. How can you address this resistance and foster a more inclusive and diverse research culture? Here are some strategies that you can apply in your research projects.

1 Identify the sources of resistance

The first step is to identify where the resistance is coming from and why. Is it based on ignorance, fear, discomfort, or hostility? Is it coming from yourself, your colleagues, your supervisors, your funders, or your stakeholders? Is it related to the research topic, the methods, the team, or the outcomes? By understanding the sources and reasons of resistance, you can tailor your approach and communication to address them effectively.

Widerst?nde gegen Diversit?t und Inklusion in Forschungsprojekten haben sicher die gleichen Gründe wie Widerst?nde gegen Diversit?t und Inklusion in der Arbeitswelt allgemein. Dazu z?hlen allem voran Vorurteile, ein Beispiel hierfür ist der "Gender bias". Einer Studie mit dem Titel ?Gender bias in performance evaluations: The impact of gender quotas“ zufolge f?llt beispielsweise die Leistungsbewertung von Frauen im Vergleich zur Leistungsbewertung von M?nnern deutlich schlechter aus. Fehlendes Wissen seitens der Bewertenden z?hlt sicher zu den Hauptgründen.

2 Educate and inform

One of the most common causes of resistance is a lack of knowledge or awareness about the importance and benefits of diversity and inclusion in research. Therefore, you can use education and information as tools to overcome this barrier. You can provide relevant and evidence-based data, examples, and arguments that show how diversity and inclusion can improve the research quality, relevance, and impact. You can also share your own experiences and perspectives, and invite others to do the same, to create a dialogue and mutual understanding.

3 Engage and collaborate

Another way to address resistance is to engage and collaborate with those who are resistant or skeptical. You can invite them to participate in the research process, to contribute their ideas and feedback, and to co-create solutions and outcomes. You can also seek out allies and supporters who can help you advocate for diversity and inclusion in your research environment. By engaging and collaborating, you can build trust, respect, and rapport with those who may otherwise be opposed or indifferent.

Diversity in der Forschung zu berücksichtigen ist der Anfang. Bei der Verbreitung der Ergebnisse der Forschung, bei ihrer Anwendung ist es sehr ratsam die "Zielgruppen" m?glichst breit zu definieren, wenn der Transfer in die Gesellschaft gelingen soll. Was passiert, wenn dies nicht (genug) getan wird ist an vielen Beispielen (Energiewende, Transformation insgesamt) gut sichtbar.

4 Challenge and transform

Sometimes, resistance to diversity and inclusion may be rooted in deeper and more systemic issues, such as discrimination, oppression, or injustice. In these cases, you may need to challenge and transform the existing structures and practices that hinder or harm diversity and inclusion in research. You can do this by raising awareness, speaking up, taking action, and demanding change. You can also join or create networks and movements that support and promote diversity and inclusion in research.

Probleme fehlender Diversit?t – beispielsweise durch zu wenige Frauen – in Forschungsprojekten k?nnen dadurch begründet sein, dass die Strukturen in der Wissenschaft für wissenschaftliche Mitarbeitende oftmals familienunfreundlich sind. Schlechte Arbeitsvertr?ge und unzuverl?ssige Karrierewege an Universit?ten sind ein starker Hauptgrund. Eine L?sung dafür kann nur in ernsthafter Personalentwicklung liegen, damit einhergehend für die Mitarbeitenden verl?ssliche Karriereplanung und frühere Entfristung von Stellen.

5 Reflect and learn

Finally, you can address resistance by reflecting and learning from your own and others' experiences and actions. You can evaluate the effectiveness and impact of your strategies, identify the challenges and opportunities, and seek feedback and improvement . You can also acknowledge and celebrate your achievements and successes, and share your learnings and insights with others. By reflecting and learning, you can enhance your skills and knowledge, and inspire others to embrace diversity and inclusion in research.
