Title: Faculty identity in the science classroom: Who is represented, what factors influence revealing concealable identities, and how does revealing affect students?

听

Faculty as role models and mentors can positively impact students, but yet we know little about the identities of faculty.听 In this study, we collected data from over 2000 faculty across the United States to document what percentage have concealable stigmatized identities, to what extent they reveal these identities to students in their classes, and how revealing these identities may positively听impact students.听
