Session Abstract

As those from groups historically excluded from STEM navigate the jobs search, they must overcome the implicit biases that impacts them throughout their careers. Despite this, discussions of bias and career advice are often relegated to separate forums, with discussions of bias rarely connected to practical professional development recommendations. To rectify this, we propose a half-day workshop to expose attendees of all backgrounds to the pervasiveness of bias, particularly in the context of the job search. We believe that this event will serve a critical function at AEESP: empowering groups underrepresented in STEM in their job searches and involving more stakeholders in the conversation to realize equitable institutions. Organizers: Bridget Hegarty, Case Western Reserve University; Desiree Plata, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
