How do we move from hiring to retaining women (especially woman of color)? There is work that finds women of color are much more likely to leave an institution than other demographic groups - this is true even when people have tried to do cluster hiring.🧵(1) The experience for women of color is that they are treated badly or their group is treated badly. @VirginiaValian says it’s important to spend informal time with women so they feel important to the department.

@VirginiaValian (of @Hunter_College; author of “Why so Slow?”) presents the keynote at @WomenInCogSci entitled “Still too Slow: The Advancement of Women.”

#psynom20 @VirginiaValian @Hunter_College @WomenInCogSci @VirginiaValian presents results by Cooley et al. (2018): Women are perceived as more “feminine” when they smile than when they don’t smile. Even more true for Black women compared to white women.

How to Create a Diverse and Inclusive Lab at @SocietySpark with @ToriPea3, @MaddBlackProf, @anjames3, Alejandro Lleras, and Wendy Francis. @SocietySpark @ToriPea3 @MaddBlackProf @anjames3 @MaddBlackProf: Recognize that not all students will take the “default” career path of academia.

Faculty advisors need to be flexible and encourage students to pursue other interests.

Yes, this is a challenge as it may lead to a decrease in lab productivity.
