Minorities In Science

To be the recipient of the E. E. Just Award for 2014 is one of my greatest honors, as this is a truly rarefied group. In this essay, I try to trace my path to becoming a scientist to illustrate that multiple paths can lead to science. I also highlight that I did not build my career alone. Rather, I had help from many and have tried to pay it forward. Finally, as the country marches toward a minority majority, I echo the comments of previous E. E. Just Award recipients on the state of underrepresented minorities in science.

Diversity Study

Across four studies (N = 1,555) we find that individuals perceive teams with hierarchical representation (i.e., minority employees represented throughout their hierarchy) as more attractive than equally diverse teams that lack hierarchical representation. Teams with hierarchical representation are perceived as more diverse and as having superior team functioning (Study 1). Furthermore, the effect of hierarchical representation on team attractiveness did not differ between racial minority and majority participants (Studies 2-3), suggesting that attitudes about race among racial majority members might have evolved since a previous study found only racial minorities to be concerned with hierarchical representation. Additionally, diverse teams without hierarchical representation are perceived as no more attractive than hierarchical teams with objectively lower diversity (Study 3) and non-hierarchical teams without diversity (Study 4). These studies highlight the importance of minority representation across every echelon of a hierarchy rather than only at lower levels.
