Political Science Professor Sarah Sokhey and former CU undergrad, now a Ph.D. student in Political Science at Pittsburgh, Jeffrey Nonnemacher newest article about the STUDIO Undergraduate Research Lab has recently been published in PS.

Abstract:

Undergraduate research labs have long been recognized as having educational and professional benefits, but much less attention has been given to how they can promote diversity and inclusion. Without a conscientious effort to promote these goals, labs are likely to replicate and perpetuate existing inequalities. This article discusses our experiences and lessons from launching an undergraduate research lab in a political science department at a research-oriented state university. It concludes with suggestions for other departments interested in starting undergraduate research labs. Promoting diversity and inclusion by working with undergraduates is unlikely if babyÖ±²¥app are recruiting students individually outside of a lab, if the burden is on students to approach babyÖ±²¥app, or if labs do not take practical steps to make this happen.
