SEE DATA: Spaces of Empowerment for Equity and Diversity: Advancement Through Access

波特兰州立大学（PSU）的“赋予公平和多样性权力的空间：通过访问取得进步”（SEE-DATA）项目旨在识别、理解和改善STEM领域的教职员工的工作经历和保留率，这些教职员工传统上因性别、种族/民族和其他交叉身份（如性取向、残疾、社会经济地位、国籍、移民身份）而被边缘化和边缘化。该项目将收集、分析和绘制有关PSU教师经历的数据，为旨在促进教师的保留和繁荣的计划和政策提供信息，使其更接近PSU多样化的学生群体。预计SEE-DATA项目将大大有助于改善机构公平性。SEE-DATA将通过结合定性、定量和社会空间数据、技术和绘图工具，采用交叉方法进行数据收集、管理、分析、可视化和传播，目标是为不同的教职员工传达比迄今为止在其他地方建立的更细致入微的公平景观和“生态系统”理解。该项目将开发的方法范围将适用于整个大学的STEM部门和其他机构。该项目基于优势的自我评估方法将有助于形成一个工具包，用于捕捉和可视化STEM教师多重生活身份之间的动态相互作用，因为它们在制度景观中表现出来，从而支持ADVANCE扩大交叉公平战略和干预措施的目标。该项目解决了现有数据来源（例如，数字计数，气候调查）对影响学术STEM招聘，工作经验，保留和晋升的交叉因素的限制。预期结果将促进对个人赋权途径和促进STEM教师公平的制度系统变革杠杆的更清晰和更深入的理解。所产生的知识将通过项目网页、面向专业和普通受众的公开研讨会和会议等途径传播，也将通过PSU内部、其他学院/大学、全国专业组织的网络以及advanced Resource Coordination Network （ARC）和StratEGIC网站传播。NSF ADVANCE项目旨在通过识别和消除阻碍学术机构中不同教师充分参与和进步的组织障碍来促进性别平等。阻碍公平的组织障碍可能存在于政策、过程、实践以及组织文化和气候中。ADVANCE“Catalyst”奖为学术、非营利性高等教育机构的机构公平评估和五年教师公平战略计划的制定提供支持。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The Spaces of Empowerment for Equity and Diversity: Advancement Through Access (SEE-DATA) project at Portland State University (PSU) aims to identify, understand, and improve the workplace experiences and retention of faculty in STEM fields who have been traditionally minoritized and marginalized based on gender, race/ethnicity, and other intersectional identities (e.g., sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, national origin, immigrant status). The project will collect, analyze, and map data about faculty’s experiences at PSU to inform programs and policies that seek to foster the retention and flourishing of a faculty that more closely resembles the diverse student body at PSU. It is anticipated that the SEE-DATA project will significantly contribute to improving institutional equity.SEE-DATA will take an intersectional approach to data collection, management, analysis, visualization, and dissemination by combining qualitative, quantitative, and socio-spatial data, techniques, and mapping tools with the goal of conveying more nuanced understandings of the equity landscape and “ecosystem” for diverse faculty members than has been established to date elsewhere. The scope of the methodology that the project will develop will be applicable to STEM departments across the university and to other institutions. The project’s strengths-based self-assessment methodologies will contribute to a toolkit for capturing and visualizing the dynamic interplay between the multiple lived identities of STEM faculty as they are manifested in the institutional landscape, thus supporting ADVANCE goals for expanding intersectional equity strategies and interventions. This project addresses limits in extant sources of data (e.g., numerical counts, climate surveys) on the intersectional factors affecting academic STEM recruitment, workplace experiences, retention, and promotion. Outcomes will be expected to advance a clearer and deeper understanding of individual empowerment pathways and institutional systemic change levers in advancing faculty equity in STEM. Knowledge generated will be disseminated via avenues such as a project webpage, public seminars, and conferences geared to professional and general audiences, as well as through networks within PSU, at other colleges/universities, with professional organizations nationally, and via the ADVANCE Resource Coordination Network (ARC) and StratEGIC website. The NSF ADVANCE program is designed to foster gender equity through a focus on the identification and elimination of organizational barriers that impede the full participation and advancement of diverse faculty in academic institutions. Organizational barriers that inhibit equity may exist in policies, processes, practices, and the organizational culture and climate. ADVANCE "Catalyst" awards provide support for institutional equity assessments and the development of five-year faculty equity strategic plans at an academic, non-profit institution of higher education.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
