Advancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion: Operationalizing the Inclusive Professional Framework to Develop STEM Faculty

• In Event: Inclusion and Culture in Faculty Teaching, Evaluation, and Development

Abstract

With the need for diverse representation in STEM, institutions have found ways to improve diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) through programs and broad institutional policies. Yet, improving the awareness of faculty regarding DEI can be instrumental in improving conditions for marginalized students in STEM. This session discusses the Inclusive Professional Framework for Faculty (IPF: Faculty) and its operationalization through a summer professional development program. Findings from longitudinal data (interviews and team action planning products) indicated that participants expressed a desire to apply learning gains through multiple avenues, such as faculty professional development programming, grant initiatives, and discussion groups. Session participants will be able to identify ways to incorporate the IPF: Faculty into STEM faculty professional development at their institutions.
