Preparing Diverse Students for Success in the Academic and Private Sectors: Fostering DEI in Publishing and Beyond
It’s no secret that the publishing industry is an homogenous field. Issues range from barriers of entry to recruitment strategies to workplace culture. What can scholarly publishers and university presses do to retool outdated, exclusionary practices?
In this third episode, Todd Baldwin and Miranda Nunhofer of SAGE Publishing discuss how to break down the barriers that publishers face in implementing diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives. They highlight possible strategies, like partnering with universities for outreach programs, expanding the applicant pool via remote work, and investing in academic pipeline programs.
Adding to the discussion, Dr. Pamela Queen, a finance professor at Morgan State University, explains how she implements social issues into her case studies to prepare students for the critical thinking and problem solving skills needed in the boardroom, classroom, and elsewhere. To close out the episode, Dr. Rihana Mason, a research scientist at Georgia State University, reveals the importance of transparency and vulnerability with students—breaking down the challenges of academia can help encourage and empower scholars on their academic journeys.
