This interactive session describes different types of exclusionary behaviors that affect recruitment and retention into STEM fields and academic oral health communities, and, the academic practices and institutional structures that allow for exclusionary behaviors to persist. The session also provides training in personal intervention strategies to protect and support targets of exclusionary behaviors. As a result of this session, participants will be able to identify:
- Different ways in which harassment, bullying, and other types of exclusionary behaviors can manifest in research and academic oral health environments;
- Strategies for bystander intervention and
- Resources for cultural change in academic institutions and professional societies.
All participants will be provided handouts that describe the bystander intervention strategies and list resources related to the issues discussed. Participants will be asked to complete a short survey at the end of the workshop to provide feedback to the facilitators.
This session is open to all ADEA members. However, due to the nature of the topic, Deans, Allied or Advanced Education Program Directors and ADEA Board Members should instead plan to attend the training on Dec. 6, 2023 from noon-3:00 p.m.
