Abstract
Many of us have had either lived or second-hand experience with bias or discrimination, based on gender or other. On one hand, challenges may be vented with trusted others over the water cooler, via social media or at cocktail parties, and go no further. On the other end of the spectrum are those who make their career from a program of research in this area. This WITA will introduce a “middle lane” where we will crowd source the expertise, lived experiences and scholarly perspectives in the room. The goal is to share how scholarly approaches to problematizing inequities may help us ultimately to consider how we may leverage these for change.
