Faculty Male Advocates & Allies for Equity

Meet our Faculty Male Advocates & Allies for Equity

We are a community of male faculty members who hope to learn, ask questions, and have candid discussions about departmental cultures and practices, to raise awareness and work towards equity and inclusion for all faculty at Indiana University Bloomington. 

Become a better ally!

Each week during the fall and spring semesters, we distribute tips & resources to help you become a better ally for gender equity.

Dr. Tom James, IU Professor of Psychological and Brain Sciences discusses the IU Center of Excellence’s Advocates & Allies program that he chairs.

Our Goals:

  • Understand the context of gender inequity in academia, and with a focus on our IUB campus.
  • Be introduced to relevant concepts and literature, including unconscious bias and male privilege.
  • Use scenarios to practice Ally skills.
  • Obtain resources to assist personal development and to share with others.
