WORKSHOP: Recruitment and Retention of Women of Color in Political Science to Improve Scholarship and Teaching, San Francisco, CA, September 2015

一般概述研究表明，有色人种女性在追求高等教育和随后的政治学职业生涯中面临障碍，如缺乏导师、经济资源和重大的家庭责任。政治学是社会科学中男性最多、英语占主导地位的研究领域之一。学术职业中的描述性表征对于合法性的认知、对学生的服务以及知识的发展都很重要。会议的目标是为与会者提供必要的技能和网络，以进入学院，成功实现终身教职，并在此后维持他们的职业生涯。这一研讨会汇集了来自不同大学、处于不同职业生涯阶段的学者，以深化学术交流，并建立联盟，支持政治学专业多样化方面的卓越表现。技术概述学术职业中的描述性表征对于合法性、对学生的服务和知识发展的看法是重要的。会议的目标是为与会者提供必要的技能和网络，以进入学院，成功实现终身教职，并在此后维持他们的职业生涯。这一研讨会汇集了来自不同大学、处于不同职业生涯阶段的学者，以深化学术交流，并建立联盟，支持政治学专业多样化方面的卓越表现。讲习班包括一次开幕式全体会议，重点是发展学科中的交叉工作，并讨论学科和有色人种妇女在其中的作用。它还包括一系列的分组会议，集中讨论学术发展的各个方面。研讨会将通过将研究生、初级学员和职业生涯中期学员按兴趣配对来促进深入指导，并将有组织的一对一指导时间嵌入到时间表中。

General SummaryResearch demonstrates that women of color face barriers such as lack of mentorship, financial resources, and significant familial responsibilities in their pursuit of higher education and subsequent careers in political science. Political science is one of the most male and Anglo dominated fields of study in the social sciences. Descriptive representation within the academic profession is important to perceptions of legitimacy, service to students, and development of knowledge. The goal of the conference is to provide attendees the necessary skills and networks to enter the academy, successfully achieve tenure and sustain their careers thereafter. This workshop brings together scholars from different universities, at different stages in their careers, to deepen intellectual engagement and to build coalitions that support excellence in diversifying the political science profession. Technical SummaryDescriptive representation within the academic profession is important to perceptions of legitimacy, service to students, and development of knowledge. The goal of the conference is to provide attendees the necessary skills and networks to enter the academy, successfully achieve tenure and sustain their careers thereafter. This workshop brings together scholars from different universities, at different stages in their careers, to deepen intellectual engagement and to build coalitions that support excellence in diversifying the political science profession. The workshop includes an opening plenary session that focuses on the development of intersectionality work in the discipline and a discussion of the discipline and the role of women of color therein. It also includes a series of breakout sessions that focus on various aspects of academic development. The workshop will facilitate deep mentoring by pairing graduate students, junior, and mid-career participants by interest, with structured one-on-one mentoring time embedded into the schedule.
