[quote=Anonymous]Something that I have found that helps, sometimes: make a habit of introducing your colleagues by name and title. I'm in an academic field where there are a number of my older colleagues (50s and 60s) who are people of color (and mostly women) who received PhDs in the 70s and 80s when that was very very unusual. When I first started in this field I found it much more formal than I expected. People would introduce each other: "This is Dr. So-and-so, she is the Director of the Important Center for Important Studies" -- I knew her as my down-to-earth senior colleague "Mary," so it was an eye-opener for me.[/quote]
