Experiences of Discrimination: Basic Science Academic Research, 2023
Scope and Content Note
The series contains Master's theses from 1943 to present. The theses consist of either a production book and a media component or solely a production book. The production books were originally submitted as physical bound copies, but were later submitted digitally. The physical production books are stored offsite and the digital production books are stored in the College's preservation repository.
The media components consist of U-matic tapes, VHS tapes, CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays and changed to digital submissions in 2020. There are also a handful of audiocassette tapes and one USB. The media components are stored onsite at the Archives.

Overview
"This study identifies discrimination experienced by academic researchers in basic science in order to understand impacts on professionals in this space. Experiences shared by participants exposed experiences varying from microaggressions to discrimination that pertained to their roles within their lab, gender, and race. Methods of data collection consisted of a review of existing research and qualitative interviews with fifteen voluntary participants. This study analyzes shared experiences of discrimination through perspectives of interview participants, and explores evident patterns in the current basic science academic research system. This qualitative research is intended to be the main source material for the development of an original ethnodrama to be performed in academic research settings by current researchers, to stir conversation and engage with those who have the power to change the circumstances discussed herein. This study asks: What does discrimination look like in settings of basic science academic research, and how does the experience of discrimination affect the potential discoveries of researchers?" -- Abstract
