SUMMARY:National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory Seminar
DESCRIPTION:
 Denise Sekaquaptewa from the University of Michigan 
 will be speaking.\n
 \n
 The title is "Effects 
 of Stereotyping and Implicit Bias on Underrepresented 
 Minorities in STEM."\n
 \n
 The description 
 is as follows:\n
 In this talk I will describe 
 social science research findings regarding 
 the experiences of White women and underrepresented 
 racial/ethnic minority (URM) people 
 in Science, Technology, Engineering, and 
 Mathematics (STEM) fields. Experimental research 
 on implicit bias and stereotype threat has 
 revealed the powerful influence of negative 
 stereotypes on women and URM people in STEM. 
 This work reveals differential evaluation of 
 women vs. men and majority vs. URM groups, and 
 also shows the influence of a more “chilly” 
 or negative climate for members of groups 
 targeted by stereotypes purporting they are 
 less suitable for STEM. I will also discuss 
 some recommendations for institutional change 
 that can help create a more inclusive and equitable 
 environment for all.\n\n
