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.

Presented by Andrea Gomez, PhD candidate (Mentor: Dr. Arden Baylink), and Hayley Masterson, DVM, Clinical veterinary microbiology resident and PhD candidate (Mentors: Dr. Claire Burbick and Dr. Massaro Ueti).
