#BlackLivesMatter in the Academy: An Anti-Bias Lens on OB Research
The OB Executive Division Racial Inequality Committee invites you to join us on Monday February 22, 2021 From 2.00-3:30pm EST.
In this session we explore the expression of race or ethnicity-based bias in the research process as it informs responses to author teams, research topics, research samples, and research methods in OB. The session is structured around, first, the reflections of panelists with great experience as editors, reviewers, and authors and their answers to a series of questions addressing these issues, and, second, break-out discussion exploring the actions we may take as a field to address these issues.
