How Politically Diverse Are University Faculty

Our latest discussion explores a research report on faculty political diversity in higher education, a topic that continues to spark debate within and beyond the academy. This webinar provides an opportunity for members to engage directly with the findings. We cover the scope and inclusion criteria for the studies analyzed, as well as their limitations, such as response rates and self-reported data, before moving into a Q&A session with the presenters, Dylan Selterman, Erin Shaw, and Shiri Spitz Siddiqi. This report is essential for anyone interested in the future of our university and the academic landscape.
