In a panic spiral because someone put a meeting on my calendar without enough context. The title is about a course I've been trying to get a presence in, but the meeting wasn't made by the course instructor and includes a fairly high up person, so it makes me feel panicky 🤮🤮.
I've had "let's have a meeting" from supervisors in the past that ended up being scolding sessions. Neither of these people are my supervisor, but they can make my job miserable/nearly impossible if they choose.
Universities often announce increases in faculty diversity; how is that adding up? 🧵
In a new analysis of US federal data in Nature Human Behavioir with @NeilLewisJr & @[email protected], we show that the U.S. is not succeeding in diversifying faculty.
We also (1) analyze whether the pipeline analogy is helping or hurting and (2) compute what it would take to achieve faculty parity in our lifetime.
(if you are an #Academic, please Boost & share with colleagues)
US universities have made public commitments to recruit and retain faculty of colour. Analysis of three federal datasets shows that at current rates diversity in US faculty will never reach racial parity. Yet, colleges and universities could achieve parity by 2050 by diversifying their faculty at 3.5 times the current pace.
Regardless what you think of career politicians or her personal place on the political spectrum, Nancy Pelosi has been an absolute pioneer for women in US politics. I don't know how.we.wpuld have fared in 2017-2021 without her leadership.
That said, hopefully this decision continues to showcase her pioneering spirit by encouraging others of her generation to move aside and make room for younger generations in leadership.
