Tokenism is a performative practice of hiring a small number of historically excluded folx to fulfill a quota, thereby checking the diversity box giving the appearance of equity in the workplace. It ignores the structural elements and challenges that individuals face. Relevant to researchers, human and animal research programs perpetrating tokenism may promote stereotypes, encourage microaggressions and stifle honest efforts of diversity, equity, inclusion, justice, and belonging. Venturing beyond the bounds of tokenism can lead to a broader range of thoughts, ideas, opinions which can lead to sustainable better solutions and greater access to research communities and shared resources within and between organizations.

Learning Objectives:

  • Explore the nuanced difference between genuine inclusion and tokenism in the research environment and the committees that oversee their work
  • Discuss how to implement appropriate peer-to-peer mentoring by committee members, which can help foster increased engagement in an IRB/IACUC, as well as improve mentoring of students by that faculty
  • Discover how the detrimental effects of tokenism impact research teams, IRBs, and IACUCs, and learn practical solutions and strategies for fostering genuine inclusion within research teams, IRBs, and IACUCs as well as fostering inclusive mentoring processes
