摘要

招聘和保留多样化的科学劳动力取决于更具包容性的科学文化。教科书向未来的科学家介绍他们选择的领域,并传达其文化规范。我们使用了20年来的生态学教科书数据,并记录了在此期间科学家的代表性几乎没有变化。尽管几十年来在增加生态学多样性方面做出了多方面的努力,但教科书中介绍的91%的创始人/创新者和76%的工作科学家是白人男性,这与目前在生态学领域发表文章的科学家的人口统计数据相差甚远。教科书上的图片描绘的是从事科学家工作的白人男性,而女性和有色人种经常被描绘成非科学家。此外,教科书缺乏对科学和社会如何相互影响的讨论。增加历史上被排斥群体的个人的保留和归属感的途径包括更新教科书以准确地反映活跃在该领域的科学家,将参与的历史限制背景化,以及揭示文化如何塑造科学研究。

Rethinking the undergraduate textbook as a tool to build a diverse community of ecologists

Rethinking the undergraduate textbook as a tool to build a diverse community of ecologists

Recruitment and retention of a diverse scientific workforce depends on a more inclusive culture of science. Textbooks introduce prospective scientists to their chosen field and convey its cultural norms. We use ecology textbook data spanning two decades and document little change in representation of scientists during that time. Despite decades of multifaceted efforts to increase diversity in ecology, 91% of founders/innovators and 76% of working scientists introduced in textbooks were white men, poorly matching the demographics of scientists currently publishing in ecology. Textbook images depicted white men working as scientists, while women and people of color were frequently shown as nonscientists. Moreover, textbooks lack discussion of how science and society shape each other. Pathways to increase retention and sense of belonging for individuals from historically excluded groups include updating textbooks to accurately represent the scientists active in the field, contextualizing historical constraints on participation, and revealing how culture shapes scientific investigations.

期刊介绍: Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment is a publication by the Ecological Society of America that focuses on the significance of ecology and environmental science in various aspects of research and problem-solving. The journal covers topics such as biodiversity conservation, ecosystem preservation, natural resource management, public policy, and other related areas. The publication features a range of content, including peer-reviewed articles, editorials, commentaries, letters, and occasional special issues and topical series. It releases ten issues per year, excluding January and July. ESA members receive both print and electronic copies of the journal, while institutional subscriptions are also available. Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment is highly regarded in the field, as indicated by its ranking in the 2021 Journal Citation Reports by Clarivate Analytics. The journal is ranked 4th out of 174 in ecology journals and 11th out of 279 in environmental sciences journals. Its impact factor for 2021 is reported as 13.789, which further demonstrates its influence and importance in the scientific community.
