Workshop 2 – Keynote: Prof. Hannah Rubin (University of Notre Dame)
Title: Promoting Diverse Collaborations
Abstract: Philosophers and social scientists have argued that diverse perspectives, methods, and background assumptions are critical to progress in knowledge-generating communities. One way to achieve such diversity is to ensure that a community is made up of individuals from diverse personal backgrounds. In many disciplines, though, certain groups are underrepresented. In some cases, members of a minority or marginalized group further segregate into sub-fields, thus decreasing the effective diversity of research collaborations. In this talk, I will discuss potential causes and consequences of this lack of diverse collaborations, as well as some potential pitfalls of policies aimed to improve it.
