Workshop: Collaboration across Diverse Groups to Improve Scholarship; at NSF, -January, 2015 and APSA, September 2015

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。不同群体之间相关特征的多样性有助于更好地做出决策。大学需要考虑如何最好地留住优秀的教师，并促进不同人口群体的发展。这一职业的自然减员因人口统计特征而异。促进行业内多样化的一种方式是评估关于什么在联盟建设中起作用以及结果可能是什么的知识的适用性。本研讨会将汇集来自不同大学、处于其职业生涯不同阶段的学者，以建立联盟以深化知识参与、发展智力交流与合作，并建立联盟以支持职业生涯中专业多元化的卓越表现。通过应用关于组织内的多样性、有效的联盟建设和议程成果的学术，本研讨会将有助于在该领域的职业课程中发展多样性。

Descriptive representation within the academic profession is important to perceptions of legitimacy, service to students, and development of knowledge. Diversity in relevant characteristics across groups contributes to better deccisionmaking. Universities need to consider how best to retain excellent faculty and promote development across demographic groups. Attrition from the profession varies by demographic characteristics. One way to contribute to diversification within the profession is to evaluate the applicability of knowledge concerning what works in coalition building and what the outcomes might be. This workshop will bring together scholars from different universities, at different stages in their careers to build coalitions to deepen intellectual engagement, develop intellectual cross-fertilization and collaboration, and to build coalitions to support excellence in diversifying the profession throughout careers.By applying the scholarship on diversity within organizations, effective coalition building, and outcomes in agendas, this workshop will contribute to developing diversity across the career course in the field.
