How does someone's identity affect the way her/his work is judged?
When *is* an issue about gender or race?
What if I would like to become an academic scientist, but I don't want to wear khaki pants and plaid shirts, live in a house with a white picket fence, and have a wife and 2.5 kids?
Why does my advisor discuss my work with a male colleague in the lab, when it's my work and I'm standing right there?
How can someone advocate for women and minorities when they deny that sexism and racism exist in their own institute?
Why are people afraid of having these discussions in public?
Please join us for an interactive conversation about these issues.
