This open access book analyzes barriers to inclusion in academia and details ways to create a more diverse, inclusive environment. It describes the implementation of UC Davis ADVANCE, a grant program funded by the National Science Foundation, to increase the hiring and retention of underrepresented scholars in the STEM fields (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) and foster a culture of inclusion for all faculty. It first describes what the barriers to inclusion are and how they function within the broader society. A key focus here is the concept of implicit bias: what it is, how it develops, and the importance of training organizational members to recognize and challenge it. It then discusses the limitations of data collection that is guided by the convention assumption that being diverse automatically means being inclusive. Lastly, it highlights the importance of creating a collaborative, interdisciplinary, and institution-wide vision of an inclusive community.
Dr. Linda F. Bisson is the Faculty Director of UC Davis ADVANCE, a program originally funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation and now a part of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion. She received her a PhD in Microbiology from UC Berkeley in 1980. She has held numerous leadership positions at UC Davis, including Department Chair for Viticulture and Enology, and Chair of the Academic Senate, in addition to over ten years as Science Editor for the American Journal of Enology and Viticulture. She has long been involved in diversity and inclusion efforts at the University. She is co-author of the award-winning textbook Principles and Practices in Winemaking.
