[quote=Anonymous]I teach grad students and there were several that were in and out of my house. I have hired them as babysitters, taken them to lunch, had the research team over for breakfast, had them house sit and dog sit, had large groups over for spaghetti dinners,movie nights, etc.in retrospect, I am realizing that I was not as inclusive as I could have been. Realizing that I never invited a POC or a guy to babysit, never asked a POC to house sit. I think we all are more prejudiced and discriminatory than we want to see and these occasions do serve the purpose of shutting people out, intentionally or unintentionally. When I was I. Grad school the mostly male professors played squash, basketball and went running but only with the male students. There needs to be a way to shut down this kind of exclusive back channel stuff in favor of equal access.[/quote]
