Making departments diverse, equitable, and inclusive: Engaging colleagues in departmental transformation through discussion groups committed to action

Figures & data

Figure 1. The SAGE 2YC framework for making departments diverse, equitable, and inclusive. In this data-driven, iterative process, a departmental team uses data to identify needs; reflects on the factors that contribute to those needs; explores strategies for change and develops a plan; and implements the plan, using data to measure progress. SAGE 2YC discussion groups focused primarily on step 3 of this process (learning about effective strategies), and we used other elements of the professional development program for other steps in the process. However, discussion groups could take on the full process.
