A National Leader in Inclusive Practice
Demonstrating our commitment to sharing and transparency.
The UC Davis Division of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion stands out as a national leader in advancing inclusive practices within higher education. We achieve this by publishing scholarly papers, institutional reports, and presenting at various national and international conferences. These activities help to disseminate our research and insights, influencing inclusive practices far beyond our campus.
We utilize the eScholarship open access publishing platform to ensure that our work reaches a broad audience, making it freely accessible to scholars, practitioners, and the public alike. Many of our publications, which include research findings and practical guides, are available on eScholarship, highlighting our commitment to transparency and the democratization of knowledge.

Importance of Dissemination To Our Work
Disseminating relevant research, strategies and practices is crucial to fostering a more inclusive academic environment. Scholarly publications and presentations at conferences allow for the exchange of innovative ideas and evidence-based practices that can be adapted and implemented at other institutions. This advances the discipline and supports the broader societal goal of achieving equity in education.
UC Davis DEI at Conferences
UC Davis leaders in inclusive practice have actively presented at numerous conferences that focus on access, organizational culture and engagement. For example, our division has sponsored staff, faculty and students to attend National Conference on Race and Ethnicity in Higher Education (NCORE) and the National Association of Diversity Officers in Higher Education (NADOHE), presenting on topics ranging from racial equity to intersectionality in higher education. These conferences are some of the most significant gatherings for race and ethnicity in education, offers a platform to share our cutting-edge research and connect with professionals from across the nation.
In addition to these conferences, UC Davis also actively engages with organizations such as the Society for Advancement of Chicanos/Hispanics and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS), the Hispanic Association of Colleges and Universities (HACU), Asian Pacific Americans in Higher Education (APAHE) and other, similar partners. Our participation in their conferences promotes equity and access in STEMM and higher education, focusing on the success of underrepresented groups. These engagements help UC Davis foster a comprehensive approach to inclusive practice that includes race, ethnicity, sustainability, and beyond.
