postdoctoral fellowship at Georgia Tech’s Center for the En- hancement of Teaching and Learning (CETL) and three years as a faculty member at Olin College of En- gineering in Massachusetts. Alexandra’s research aims to improve the design of educational experiences for students by critically examining the work and learning environments of practitioners. Specifically, she focuses on (1) how to design and change educational and work systems through studies of practicing engineers and educators and (2) how to help students transition into, through and out of educational and work systems.Dr. Ines Basalo, University of Miami Dr. Basalo is an Assistant Professor in Practice in Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at the Uni

challenging them at individual, symbolic, and institutional levels. Achievinginstitutional transformation within this theoretical context means working to shift power relationsand restructure institutional arrangements by disrupting the invisibility of power and privilege forthose who benefit from these arrangements, and building egalitarian structures that change theways people interact—from the hiring process to promotion and tenure to advancement ofwomen into leadership. Research suggests that successful institutional transformation must targetthe “mechanisms that produce inequality” [11]. We argue that such transformation must alsotarget mechanisms that produce inequity, as well as address the needs of individual women.Approach: The ADVANCE

recruiting a critically diverse faculty.Focused Conversation ModelOne of the earliest challenges STRIDE faced was deciding on the appropriate way for us toengage with our faculty peers on these issues. At first, we considered following the University ofMichigan STRIDE format, which consisted of a traditional workshop in which STRIDE fellowsshare information about implicit bias and best practices for its mitigation in the recruitmentprocess. All of the fellows were comfortable with this approach, especially because we allattended a live training and had the materials. Although this was the easy solution, STRIDEknew that given the specific context and needs of UMBC, this approach would be lacking.Moreover, the Deans were already offering required
