Faculty and Staff

Integrating equity into our approaches to research is an important step that we need to take more frequently and more impactfully. Join us for this collaborative event with the Association for Faculty Women and WSU Pullman Vice Chancellor for Equity and Inclusive Excellence, Dr. Lisa Guerrero, as she encourages us to locate, implicate, and disrupt existing power structures and contextual factors that perpetuate inequity in how we conduct research from setting the research agenda to designing research questions, from identifying methodologies and epistemologies to conducting the research, all the way through the dissemination and application of findings.

Titled “Big Apples, Big Business: How Washington Became the Apple State,” the presentation explores how Washington became the top apple-producing state in the country and transformed apples into an industrialized commodity. Following the talk, Carolyn Ross, food science professor and director of the WSU Sensory Science Center, will host an apple tasting.
