NSF ADVANCE Catalyst at 麻豆传媒映画出品 State

Deliberate Dialogue is a commonly employed form of discussion that seeks to find the best course of action to address complex problems. Focusing on potential actions, Deliberate Dialogues, explore various ways to respond to resolve an issue (Lavis, Boyko, & Francois-Pierre, Lavis, J.) 

Deliberative Dialogue Process

A series of dialogues is under way with STEM department chairs and associate deans covering six chapters of An Inclusive Academy by Stewart and Valian (2018); https://mitpress.mit.edu/books/inclusive-academy. The six chapters include distinct actions by senior administrators, chairs, individual faculty, and search committees on how to achieve an inclusive academy through recruiting and developing a diverse pool of candidates, evaluating job candidates, retaining faculty, facilitating faculty success, and evaluating and promoting faculty.

The outcome of the dialogues will be used as input to create a five-year strategic plan to increasing diversity and inclusion.
