Replication Data for: Reflections on an Institutional Journey Toward Enhancing Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Political Science

The discipline of political science has struggled to recruit, mentor, and retain significant numbers of women and underrepresented minorities. Encouragingly, many individuals and institutions have developed innovative programs and sought to create structural changes to increase our discipline’s diversity and inclusivity. This piece discusses an exciting new “pipeline program” aimed at diversifying the student body in the discipline’s doctoral programs. We describe the program’s contours, structure, personnel, and content; consider the lessons we learned from developing and managing it, and offer preliminary data on outcomes. We emphasize the need for more members of the discipline to incrementally develop bold and creative initiatives, identifying the opportunities, capitalizing on the advantages, and confronting the constraints that their context presents. We highlight the importance of achieving clarity on the success parameters, and securing institutional backing, for such efforts; of public and private funders supporting them; and of coordination and collaboration among those who bring them to life.政治学领域长期以来在招募、指导以及留住大量女性与代表性不足的少数族裔群体方面面临诸多困境。令人欣慰的是，诸多个人与机构已推出创新性项目，并致力于推动结构性改革，以提升本学科的多样性与包容性。本文探讨了一项旨在推动本学科博士项目学生群体多元化的新兴“人才输送项目（pipeline program）”。我们将阐述该项目的概况、运作架构、人员配置与内容设置，复盘我们在项目开发与运营过程中汲取的经验教训，并提供相关成果的初步数据。我们呼吁本学科更多从业者逐步推进大胆且富有创意的举措，精准识别机遇、充分利用既有优势，并直面所处环境带来的各类约束条件。我们着重强调，开展此类工作需明确成功衡量标准、争取机构支持；需获得公共与私人资助方的支持；还需项目落地者之间加强协调与协作。
