Questions

Tell me a little about yourself and your role in your department. I’d like to ask you about your participation in the Bias Literacy Workshop. What was it that made you want to attend the workshop? What, if anything, stuck in your mind from the workshop? Can you describe any time when something from the workshop entered a discussion in your department? Could you describe a faculty meeting? How do decisions get made? Can you give an example? How do you define gender equity? We are all aware of the general stereotypes of males and females. Can you describe any ways in which you think these stereotypes might influence processes in your department? What about your own decision-making? What reasons can you think of why gender equity is, or is not, a problem at the University of Wisconsin? Do you have any concerns about this? How might it happen that departmental decisions are unintentionally biased against women? What might mask or hide gender inequality? What do you think allows this to go unnoticed? If you have behaved in a way that you recognize as biased, how did you feel about it?
