Recently collaborated with Sophie Parke from Zero Gravity on a blog post about socioeconomic status and inclusive practices to encourage socioeconomic diversity. Last year I heard about an organisation making waves in the D&I awards scene, and I knew I had to collaborate with them. ?? Zero Gravity is a change-making organisation supporting students from low-opportunity backgrounds to reach the top unis and careers, which have been traditionally inaccessible to them. They empower socially mobile talent through community, mentoring, internships and scholarships. Here are some items that we explored in the blog: ???????? Socioeconomic status is the great intersection of protected characteristics.? ?? Oppression is cyclical. ?? We can break the cycle and create opportunities through inclusion.

In my recent job search (that continues), a couple of employers have asked my thoughts on diversity, equity, and inclusion. Today I want to share some of that with you. Although I've written extensively on my personal blog, my experience on college campuses points to a few practices in the right direction of addressing DEI. First, addressing diversity and equity always begins with oneself. Do we have awareness of what we bring to the institution??Who are we and what informs the way I think, understand, and view the world? I am a middle class, white, cisgender, able-bodied, (mostly) neurotypical male with a graduate degree. I am also father to an autistic young person with a developmental disability. My mother came out as gay in her forties. All this informs the way I think, understand, and view the world. Second, addressing diversity and equity requires us to look at the data.?And make that data more accessible to everyone across campus. When I reviewed on the online learning data a few years ago I was dumbfounded at the inequity in this modality. Action begins with understanding the data. Third, faculty hiring is where real institutional change can occur.?Can we can transform the job announcement and the interview experience to create an employee base that is diverse, inclusive, and equity-minded? Four, we can turn to those voices on campus who have experience and knowledge of diversity and equity issues. Can we spend the time just listening when others are speaking up? More importantly, do we believe the lived experiences of others? I am grateful this journey began for me in the early 90s as a young man living in San Francisco. And yet, even with 30-years of trainings, workshops, conferences, and personal work on DEI, I will definitely continue to have misunderstanding. But I remain teachable and willing to learn more both externally and internally. #dei #diversityequityinclusion #highereducation #diversity

I'm excited to share that last week I was awarded tenure at the University of Arizona, Eller College of Management. If you had told me at the start of graduate school that this is where I'd end up, I wouldn't have believed you. Some fun facts: 1) When I entered undergrad, l I truly had no idea what it meant to be an academic (what's up, fellow first gen-ers!). I majored in Psychology and found out that I-O Psychology was a discipline late in the game. I had been working in a social/personality psych lab for a few years prior, so I had the research experience to apply to PhD programs. I mostly did coding though, so I had to be blind to the purpose of the studies I was working on. So, despite my research experience, I didn't *actually* understand how PhD programs worked, what the research/publication process was like, or how academia functioned. My main motivation for entering a PhD program in I-O/Women's Studies was to get the highest degree possible in my field of study - mostly as a big thank you to my parents who worked hard to send me to college. 2) I knew what consulting was, so I was pretty dead set on wanting to be a consultant when I entered grad school. I focused a lot on gaining applied experience and focused less on building my academic CV. 3) Over time, many faculty who I took classes with became perplexed that I thought that consulting was the best route for me. I loved discussing new ideas and was really into my research projects. But, academia still seemed so intimidating to me so I stayed the course. 4) I joined a consulting firm after I passed my comprehensive exams and tried to complete my dissertation while doing so. I worked 4 days a week there, with 1 day a week reserved for wrapping up my PhD work. While I was really enjoying my consulting job (and my amazing colleagues), the day I got to spend on my dissertation was always my favorite. At the same time, I started teaching my very first course (Intro to Women's Studies) and truly loved it. 5) After a long conversation with some trusted advisors, and based on my growing passion for my research, I decided I might be open to academia. But, I didn't have the CV to get a tenure track job right away. Instead, I got a visiting assistant professorship, and decided to see if I could hack it as an academic for at least a couple of years. Fast forward to now, I've been able to work with some of the most amazing colleagues in our field (and in related disciplines), and feel so lucky to have been set on this trajectory. Of course, I still keep my foot in the applied realm with Workr Beeing, and absolutely love that part of my work as well. Just thought I'd share a bit of my journey to show that career paths aren't always linear, it's ok if you don't know what you want to be when you grow up, and to take a chance on yourself every now and again. Cheers! And if you want to check out some of my research, it's all here:

The second intern in our #InternSpotlight is Daphne Hoang. Daphne is entering her junior year at the University of Chicago, double majoring in Human Rights and Gender & Sexuality Studies. She is excited to be doing a research project on the impact of dams along the Mekong River, as a part of the Feminist Roadmap for Sustainable Peace and Planet project, and also to be part of the social media, web launch, and “accuracy, tagging and relevancy” teams during her internship at the Consortium. Some of her passions are reproductive justice, the sex work industry, sexual health, political feminist movements, and transitional justice, with a focus on South East Asia and her home country - Vietnam. #ReproductiveJustice #SexualHealth #TransitionalJustice

It's #InternationalWomensDay! ♀ ?? ?? Let’s talk #apprenticeships. Apprenticeships equip women with new skills, empower them to achieve more and create opportunities for all. #InspireInclusion Apprenticeships have long been a powerful tool for promoting gender equality. They break down barriers by offering hands-on training, practical training for people from all backgrounds so they can learn the skills they need to thrive. By equipping women with new skills, apprenticeships pave the way for leadership roles and economic independence. This drives a more inclusive society where every woman's potential is valued and women can reach their full potential. ? We’re proud to currently have over 13,000 female learners on apprenticeship programmes. 87% of our female apprentices say that they are more likely to be successful in the current role as a result of the apprenticeship and 92% say their apprenticeship will support their future goals. ?? ? What are your thoughts on apprenticeships and their impact on women's careers???? Discuss in the comments. ??
