Workshop: Advancing Inclusion and Diversity: San Diego, CA: April 17, 2019

该研讨会将汇集对政治学专业多样性和包容性相关问题感兴趣的学者。讲习班的目标是就包容性方面的最佳做法提出建议，作为各部门和组织的模式。该讲习班将在以前有关专题的讲习班的基础上，制定战略，改善政治学专业中各种排斥问题的做法，重点是提高有色人种和妇女的专业地位。因此，该项目将有助于建立机制，扩大代表性不足群体成员在学院的参与。讲习班提出的建议将张贴在世界学生协会网站上，这将表明该组织致力于促进包容，并向其他机构和组织传播信息，政治学专业的多样化有助于知识的多样化，并有助于更好地包容来自不同背景的学生。该项目是对该行业促进多样性的现有努力的补充。具体而言，讲习班将包括三个部分。首先，它将借鉴以前的讲习班和其他学科的文件，提出鼓励包容的最佳做法。第二，讲习班将纳入一所大学调解办公室关于冲突管理适当资源的见解。总的来说，通过这些步骤，研讨会将寻求解决管理拒绝和敌意的问题，并为看门人提供建议。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This workshop will bring together scholars interested in issues related to diversity and inclusion in the profession of political science. The goal of the workshop will be to develop suggestions for best practices regarding inclusion that would serve as models for departments and organizations. The workshop will build on previous workshops on related topics to develop strategies for improving practices concerning various problems of exclusion in the political science profession, with a focus on advancement in the profession of people of color and women. The project will thus contribute to developing mechanisms for broadening participation by members of underrepresented groups in the academy. The recommendations that arise from the workshop will be posted on the WPSA website, which will serve to both signal commitment by the organization to promoting inclusion and disseminate information for other institutions and organizations.Diversifying the profession of political science has contributed to diversifying knowledge, and can contribute to better including students from different backgrounds. This project is a complement to extant efforts in the profession to promote diversity. Specifically, the workshop will contain three parts. First, it will draw upon previous workshops and documents from other disciplines to come up with prescriptions for best practices for encouraging inclusion. Second, the workshop will incorporate insights from a university's mediation office about appropriate resources for conflict management. Third, the workshop will meet with the Latinx pre-conference workshop to brainstorm ideas for dealing with diversity issues in the workplace Overall, through these steps, the workshop will seek to address managing rejection and hostility, and provide recommendations for gatekeepers.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.
