Toward More Equitable Hiring in Research: An Analysis of Barriers and Intervention Strategies
This seminar will be presented on May 13, 2025, by EVA LUNA DÍAZ GARCÍA of the Department of Sociology: Methodology and Theory at the School of Political Science and Sociology of the Complutense University of Madrid,
and will focus on:
“Equal opportunity is the principle that asserts that all individuals should have the same chances to access opportunities, resources, and rights in society. However, when we analyze access to research careers, we see that this principle is not fully realized due to both conscious and unconscious biases that perpetuate existing inequalities in our society. Therefore, in this seminar, we will learn to identify the biases that arise due to gender, race, and LGBTIphobia, as well as the challenges we face in achieving more equitable hiring practices.”
