Intersectional Perspectives on Diversity and Inclusion in STEM

Thursday, Sept. 23 | 12-1 p.m. | ZOOM Only

Intersectional perspectives and approaches are critical for understanding the way in which issues of diversity and inclusion shape diverse student experiences and outcomes in higher education.  In this presentation, I will discuss recent efforts to use an intersectional approach to understand disparities in STEM student outcomes at the University of Arizona and how our findings can be used to inform diversity and inclusion efforts.

Speaker Bio: Dr. Jill Williams is an associate research professor in the Southwest Institute for Research on Women and serves as the director of the Women in Science and Engineering Program at the University of Arizona.  She holds a doctoral degree in human geography from Clark University and a master's in women's and gender studies from the University of Cincinnati. As a feminist social scientist and program developer, she engages in research and practice aimed at understanding inequitable social systems and working to address them.
