Re: [AUDITORY] Scientists from under-represented groups

[Stephen Engel <0000010c69e2af5c-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Auditory Science Community,

Here is a google document containing an acknowledgement of Black 
researchers and engineers in perception, that a few of us put together 
in response from requests from students, and with help from members of 
this mailing list (thanks!). It is a partial list intended to help 
further diversify representation in classroom instruction, specifically 
Intro to Sensation and Perception, and is a mix of historical and 
currently active figures.

Many caveats apply:  Black researchers and engineers are emphasized in 
this document over other under-represented and otherwise challenged 
groups, in part because of the current moment. And there are many other 
things we can and should be doing to increase diversity and justice in 
the classroom (e.g. discussing diversity of samples and sources of bias 
in science, the role different environments play in shaping perception, 
et al.), in the field, and in the world.
