This presentation discussed the results of original research conducted with
the National Center for Institutional Diversity’s Diversity Scholars
Network. (The DSN is a self-identified, multidisciplinary group of scholars
at various institutions whose work advances understanding of identity,
difference, culture, representation, power, oppression, and inequality).
Using an exploratory mixed-methods approach—interviews followed by a
survey—we collected information about scholars’ data practices as well as
the areas of the data lifecycle where they would benefit from more support.
We also solicited feedback on a set of potential data management toolkit
resources specifically targeted toward supporting practitioners around
diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility concerns regarding their
data, and the presentation will address our progress toward building such a
toolkit from new and existing resources.
