| Abstract: | While the majority of white men in physics value racial and gender equity, they frequently engage in patterns of thought, speech, and action that undermine these values. We use data from two studies to highlight some of these patterns. One study is based on a large survey of faculty (n=1023) and one based on intensive interviews of white male faculty and graduate students (n=27). Identifying and naming these patterns can help researchers, advocates and white men become aware of these patterns and work to address them. For example, they view inequity as happening outside their sphere of influence, minimize its impacts, and show little understanding of the experiences of those around them of different demographics. |
