As a land grant institution committed to inclusive excellence, we have an unequivocal obligation to ensure that access, equity, and social justice are evoked in scientific studies. While research can be used to redress inequities, the production and application of research evidence often serve as a system of power (Kirkland, 2019) that maintains white supremacy and perpetuates systemic oppression.

Through learning vignettes and reflexive pedagogy, this session will assess the role of implicit and structural bias in research, illuminate the harmful impacts of deficit-based designs, and elevate leading tools, approaches, and frameworks to advance culturally responsive, equity-centered evaluation and research engagements.
