Anne Gillies runs a professional-development program at Oregon State University that supports diversity in hiring. Here is an edited list of questions she compiled, at The Chronicle’s request, that search committees can ask in designing a more inclusive recruitment process.
BEFORE BEGINNING THE SEARCH
- Where do we want our department to be in 10 or 20 years?
- What new fields are emerging in this discipline?
- What perspectives and experiences are we missing?
- How will this position contribute to our goals of diversity, inclusion, and justice?
- Do we have resources to mentor faculty members who demonstrate potential but still need experience?
