Are you a feminist researcher in STEM? Ever wondered how to apply feminist principles in your work?

Join us for a workshop offering faculty and researchers in all fields practical tools for recognizing how exclusionary histories shape research questions, methodologies, interpretation, and academic environments.

Explore how addressing systemic bias can:
-Improve the accuracy and impact of scientific research
-Generate more innovative approaches to pressing issues
-Create more equitable, welcoming research environments
-Support junior scholars and strengthen lab culture
-Turn feminist insights into actionable research practices

Are you a feminist grad student doing research in STEM? Ever wondered how to apply feminist principles in your work?

Universities are often described as impartial sites of knowledge creation. But what counts as a valid research question, methodology, or form of evidence is shaped by cultural forces and disciplinary histories. This workshop invites graduate students from all fields to examine the ongoing impacts of eugenics, colonialism, and patriarchy in academia — and consider how we can challenge them.

Led by Sarah McCullough of the UC Davis Feminist Research Institute (FRI), participants will gain:
-Intellectual frameworks from feminist science studies
-Tools for recognizing systemic bias in research
-Strategies for aligning academic practice with personal values
-Approaches for taking action toward greater equity
-New ways to strengthen the accuracy, relevance, and impact of research
