Wednesday, September 15 // 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET

This panel presentation will highlight the recently published text, "Behind the
Diversity Numbers," by Dr. W. Carson Byrd. Informative in nature, this book talk
will center on theoretical concepts and current research associated with the use
of statistics within systems of higher education and the adverse effects the
misuse of these numbers can have on minoritized student groups.

FACILITATOR

Dr. W. Carson Byrd
Senior Fellow-in-Residence at the National Center for Institutional Diversity
 
Dr. Byrd's research examines race and educational inequality, inter- and
intraracial interactions and their influence on identities and ideologies, and
the connections among race, science, and knowledge production. These three areas
intertwine under a broader research umbrella examining how educational
institutions, particularly colleges and universities, can simultaneously operate
as centers for social mobility and engines of inequality.




PANELISTS

Dr. Katherine S. Cho
Assistant Professor in the Department of Student Affairs in Higher Education at
Miami University
 
Dr. Cho's research agenda centers on critical social justice through
institutional accountability and organizational change. Her work spans across
student activism, institutionalized racism, retention, and flipping the
narrative of "why aren't students prepared for college" to "why aren't colleges
prepared for students?"



Dr. Karly Sarita Ford
Assistant Professor in the Department of Education Policy Studies at The
Pennsylvania State University

Dr. Ford's research focuses on the sociology of higher education and race/racism
in data collection, and research interests are higher education, sociology of
education, international comparative education, and the social processes of
collecting and representing demographic (race, gender, class) data.



Dr. Jameson David Lopez
Assistant Professor in the Center for the Study of Higher Education at the
University of Arizona

As an Indigenous quantitative researcher with expertise in the limitations of
collecting and applying quantitative results to Native American populations, Dr.
Lopez tends to examine research through tribal critical race theory which
contends governmental policies toward Native American focus on the problematic
goal of assimilation.
