Search Committee Bias Mitigation Workshop
In this one-hour participatory workshop led by Associate Vice Provost for Faculty Development Jennie S. Knight, faculty involved in faculty searches learn research about the ways that biases can impact evaluation of candidates (even in spite of our best intentions) and about evidence-based practices to mitigate against those impacts. We discuss how search committees can best structure their search processes to create a positive, inclusive experience for all candidates and to hire the candidate best qualified for the particular position.
