Hi Kaliya, A fair question - identity and bias are certainly inter-related issues. Who do you envision would be the recipient of such training? At a minimum, I would imagine that the code of conduct should provoke some evaluation of actual and potential practices against the objectives, which would be a good start.

The ID professionals you are suggesting follow this code of conduct.
At a minimum, I would imagine that the code of conduct should provoke some evaluation of actual and potential practices against the objectives, which would be a good start.
Most ID Professionals that I have met do not have any good knowledge or training around these issues. When I have brought issues up around these topics in professional settings they make people VERY VERY uncomfortable.

I was responsible for our department being awarded an Athena Swan Bronze Award, whose original objective was to increase the number of women in science and computing (see http://www.ecu.ac.uk/). I can agree with Kaliya that getting people to admit that bias exists is quite hard, getting them to see that unconscious bias exists is even harder, and getting them to change the processes and procedures so that they are bias free is harder still. We started on this path as a department three years ago and still have several more years ahead of us before we can assert that we are bias free. Writing anti-discrimination clauses into our ID-PRO code of conduct is a very noble aim, but it takes real effort and resources to make it happen. This implies that some of the annual membership fee should be directed towards this end, and that there are effective ways of measuring the amount of bias/non-bias in the members. Without metrics the whole process becomes a simple paper ticking exercise, which is somewhat pointless. regards David On 07/12/2016 18:18, Kaliya Identity Woman wrote:

Greetings David and congratulations for the award and welcome to the conversation. I would say that gathering member compliance metrics about bias or any other topic is NOT what the code of conduct should be used for, but I suppose it depends how active the ID Pro organization is envisioned to be in the enforcement of the code of conduct. Applying the same rubric across the board, one might ask if the ID Pro organization will be responsible for actively monitoring relationships among members for conflict of interest violations. Let’s hear some opinions on that. Thoughts?

Sigh - this is where different frames get in the way. How do you know if you have bias or not? you have to look at it and measure it. It isn't about "compliance" in theway that one passes an audit. It is about how do we be better people and work towards the VERY LOFTY ideal seth forth in the conde of concudct around these isseus. If one is from the dominant cutlure in North American society one can not hope to actually "be" in alignement with teh aspiration of the code of conduct without doing some inner (reflective) and outer (practice) work around the issues. And it isn't comfortable either.
or any other topic is NOT what the code of conduct should be used for, but I suppose it depends how active the ID Pro organization is envisioned to be in the enforcement of the code of conduct.
Before we get to talking about enforcement - can we talk about skill building and trying to actually have 1) awareness 2) some skills 3) good skills I think what David was suggesting is people actually doing some kind of assessment that in aggreagate and gives metrics - not that you "pass or fail" on these things it is are you improving and are we as a communtiy improving.
Applying the same rubric across the board, one might ask if the ID Pro organization will be responsible for actively monitoring relationships among members for conflict of interest violations. Let’s hear some opinions on that.

Correct. What Athena Swan is about is firstly getting to know and understand your own organisation, how it works, and how it compares to the norm (in the UK university case this is computed from the annual statistics that are routinely gathered from all universities). This means that you measure yourself in terms of female/male ratios, recruitment statistics, graduation statistics, promotion statistics, maternity/paternity leave etc. Then you start to look at ways you can improve. How do you word your job adverts? How do you attract students? How does your promotion procedure work? How do you market yourself to school kids etc. Then you measure your statistics again one and two years later to see if they are improving. And you analyse what worked and what did not work. Then you might suggest other changes to processes and procedures, and again measure the effect that these have had. It is a long arduous process, but one hopes that in the end you have eliminated all biases in the system and can show, through improved statistics, that you are a non-discriminatory organisation. Annual staff surveys measure what your staff think about your procedures and culture, and this is also a way of measuring any improvements you might have made. I am not sure how this translates into IDPRO membership. To obtain Athena Swan accreditation took 10% of my time for one year, plus the time of other staff who implemented various changes, attended meetings etc. So it is a costly process. Consequently I am not advocating this for IDPRO. It is perhaps better left to an organisation that specialises in anti-discrimination issues like Athena Swan. regards David

I agree that it’s a challenging topic to address. Not much useful happens inside of comfort zones, in my opinion, so I’ll continue to make people uncomfortable for one more email round. 1. By way of background to the conversation, and in support of the goal of bettering my own knowledge, I recently followed a friend’s good advice and read David Berreby’s “Us vs Them, the Science of Identity”, I found it very informative on a number of topics relevant to this topic. While I can’t claim to be a “bias professional” after reading it, I have an extremely concise summary that I hope could be useful: All of us with human brains have circuits within that are dedicated to sorting out people into groups (“kinds”) just as surely we have sensory homunculi and letter-recognizing neural networks. What is not hard-wired is the value judgements and decisions we form based on that circuit. Those value judgements instead are taught to us, propagated via culture in all its vagaries. The critical thing to recall is that any one specific attribute is likely to be a poor predictor of any person’s full story. 2. On the broader topic of training in support of objectives, I’m sure that the organization will provide some resources or guidance but I don’t know if it would take the form of rigorous training. Evaluate all the code of conduct objectives in the same light - e.g., for the objective regarding conflict of the group should to provide some resources on steps to take for managing potential conflicts. Finding qualified trainers on all the topics seems a potentially challenging. Whether training occurs or not, I would think the objective is worthwhile. My $0.02, and now I’ll try to listen, which is always a good thing to do when conversations become challenging. - Scott From: Kaliya Identity Woman <kaliya@identitywoman.net> Date: Wednesday, December 7, 2016 at 1:18 PM To: Scott Shorter <scott.shorter@kuma.pro> Cc: Megan Cannon <megan@kantarainitiative.org>, "dg-idpro@kantarainitiative.org" <dg-idpro@kantarainitiative.org> Subject: Re: [DG-IDPro] Reminder: ID Pro Discussion Group meeting today at 11am ET On Wed, Dec 7, 2016 at 11:38 AM, Scott Shorter <scott.shorter@kuma.pro<mailto:scott.shorter@kuma.pro>> wrote: Hi Kaliya, A fair question - identity and bias are certainly inter-related issues. Who do you envision would be the recipient of such training? The ID professionals you are suggesting follow this code of conduct. At a minimum, I would imagine that the code of conduct should provoke some evaluation of actual and potential practices against the objectives, which would be a good start. Most ID Professionals that I have met do not have any good knowledge or training around these issues. When I have brought issues up around these topics in professional settings they make people VERY VERY uncomfortable.

Are we as an organization going to be offering rigorous training around how to address implicit bias? And understanding the dynamics and issues that are in play when dealing with marginalized communities. Relative to communities of color and people who are white Americans this is sometimes called White Awareness Training or Anti-Racism Training. There is similar work to be done around sexism (men relative to women) and relative to gender identity issues. Along with training to be aware of religion etc. If we do not offer resources to live into the statements we should not be making the statements a requirement of "the profession".
