How does our identity and position in the world affect our work as researchers? To what extent do we “fit in” to the culture of our lab and field? How is this fit influenced by histories of the field and the shaping of disciplines? How does this affect the research questions a field prioritizes?

Participants will learn how historically salient identities such as race, gender, sexuality, class, nationality, and disability affect cultural norms of science. They will also explore how starting from different social assumptions can produce knowledge aimed at increasing social justice.

This session is part of the Asking Different Questions research training series.
