CHARGE GOALS & Projects Goal 1, 21st Century Departments: To strengthen and support departmental efforts to create a positive environment for all faculty with an emphasis on women and minorities Advocates & Allies/DDI in the College & SEAS Training Chairs and Deans P&T Policy Review (SEAS) & Workshop (University) P&T Portal (SEAS) Goal 2, Recruitment & Hiring: To increase the gender diversity of STEM/SBE departments Faculty Search Seminar Academic Search Portal Faculty & Candidate Guide Recruitment Grants Goal 3, Voices & Visibility: To increase the sense of belonging of STEM/SBE women faculty among their schools and departments Social Science Research: Safer Grounds Oral Histories with STEM Women Faculty (Re)Imaging Women in STEM exhibit Enhancement Grants Here is what the program looks like now; we’ve realigned projects under the 3 goals; each goal has better synergy across each other; In many ways working toward goals 1 and 2 support goals 3 Overview Results Sustainability

CHARGE Results Now let’s turn to some of CHARGEs accomplishments this year

Faculty search seminar 101 faculty & staff attended workshops in September and November 83% Faculty; 6% Administrative faculty 76% non-STEM 95% on a search committee Interactive theater with Univ. of New Hampshire PowerPlay Scenario topics The Search: gender and racial bias in a search committee Dual Career: vignettes and experiences of dual career couples Cluster Hires: gender bias and other challenges of cluster hires Follow-up evaluation after 6 months to see what attendees learned and used 55% response rate Overview Results Sustainability

Faculty search seminar: 6 months later Applied their knowledge 87% ensured committee used equitable search practices 78% recognized their own bias (Bias Literacy Level 1) 70% reduced bias during candidate evaluations Other Used what they learned to select students for groups Minimized hall conversations about searches Intervened when they saw bias in the process *55% response rate Overview Results Sustainability

Bias Intervention workshop The Workshop Response to CHARGE evaluations since 2014 showing participants could recognize implicit bias, but did not know how to intervene with colleagues Based on Bystander Intervention theory and model; trains bystanders to safely intervene and interrupt implicit bias situations Attendees learned and practiced strategies for intervening Univ. of New Hampshire PowerPlay and Dr. Stephanie Goodwin, Wright State Univ. Demographics, 70 attendees 77% female 39% College, 14% McIntire 19% Staff, 18% Lecturer, 14% Assoc. Professor 67% attended previous implicit bias workshops Overview Results Sustainability

Bias Intervention workshop Overview Results Sustainability

Bias intervention workshop Most important concepts learned Strategies for intervening, dissonance, questioning, non confrontational Strategies for pivoting & redirecting Silence is a response Remaining Questions Need more men attending How to practice these safely

(re)imaging women in stem exhibit Online and gallery exhibit featuring: 28 photographic portraits of UVA women STEM faculty Oral history excerpts that recount women’s experiences with gender discrimination in STEM and the joys they find in science A timeline of women’s co-education at UVA Recent social media campaigns from women in STEM counter-acting gender stereotypes Gallery exhibit, March 13-May15 Chemistry Building: portraits of faculty Mural Room: oral histories, timeline, and social media campaigns Overview Results Sustainability

(re)imaging women in stem exhibit Online exhibit opened February 20 Gallery exhibit Chemistry Lobby & Mural Room Over 5k visitors: students, staff, faculty, prospective students, parents, university tours, chemistry camps K-12 Overview Results Sustainability

(re)imaging women in stem exhibit Gallery Evaluation Results*: Women students inspired by the portraits Would like the university to use these spaces creatively like this more often Did not know this history of UVA; still see remnants of this culture today Did not know their professors/colleagues had experienced this level of gender discrimination; more aware of own bias *Random sample of visitors interviewed for evaluation

Future of exhibit Gallery Exhibit Online Exhibit Catalogued, working with university on accession Re-installed Anthropology gallery Bicentennial celebration NSF ADVANCE conference Fall 2017 Online Exhibit Will remain open

Faculty demographics in STEM 2010: 13.7% of STEM/SBE TTT faculty were women (N=40) 2016: 20% of STEM/SBE TTT faculty are women (N=93)

Institutionalization & Final Year

Institutionalization Purpose: NSF requires ADVANCE projects to be institutionalized by the end of the grant Make change sustainable Expand change beyond STEM departments to entire university CHARGE Sustainability Model: Decentralized; projects woven into existing systems & units Each project will have a steward office Internal Advisory Board (IAB) leading institutionalization Chair, Kerry Abrams, Vice-Provost for Faculty Affairs Members: faculty, Assoc. Deans of Diversity, UHR, administrators Creating formal mechanisms and sustainability plans First Project to institutionalize Faculty Search Seminar Overview Results Sustainability

Faculty search seminars 2013 to 2016 400 attendees, 55% female; 82% faculty; 54% STEM/SBE Workshops on recognizing & mitigating implicit bias, best practices in searches; search committee dynamics Open to all faculty Sustainability Working with Vice Provost Office to have Faculty Search Seminars become part of the portfolio of the new Asst Vice Provost for Faculty Development CHARGE working with Center for Teaching Excellence on institutionalizing the methodology—interactive theater. Learning from Univ. of MI, UNH, Cornell Piloting UVA interactive theater group Overview Results Sustainability
