As academia was founded and evolved as an exclusionary system, letters of recommendations served as a tool to perpetuate systemic inequities. Even as efforts to close accessibility and retention gaps for minoritized individuals have increased, conscious and unconscious biases continue to seep into letters of recommendations, to the detriment of candidates. While gender bias in LORs has been the subject of several studies and interventions, race and ethnicity as factors have received relatively little consideration. In this workshop, we address LORs for persons excluded based on ethnicity or race (PEER). 000041862 540__ $$fCC BY 000041862 542__ $$fIn copyright - joint owners 000041862 650__ $$aDiversity, Equity, Inclusion$$013904 000041862 650__ $$aBias$$028791 000041862 650__ $$aGender Equity$$013435 000041862 650__ $$aSexism$$040242 000041862 650__ $$aMotivation$$022450 000041862 650__ $$aRace Factors$$012613 000041862 6531_ $$ahealth sciences education 000041862 6531_ $$aresearch/lab mentoring 000041862 6531_ $$askill building 000041862 692__ $$aResearch and Innovation 000041862 7001_ $$aMarin, Ioana A.$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041862 7001_ $$aPieretti, Joyce$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041862 7001_ $$aWyatt, Letisha$$uOregon Health and Science University$$041354 000041862 711__ $$aSymposium on Educational Excellence$$uOregon Health and Science University$$d2023 000041862 8564_ $$902355e8f-f858-45f6-8165-7d2e09da2cd0$$s414442$$uhttps://digitalcollections.ohsu.edu/record/41862/files/Abstract_SEE2023_MarinIoana.pdf 000041862 980__ $$aOHSU Symposium on Educational Excellence (SEE) 000041862 981__ $$aPublished$$b2023-09-08
