DESCRIPTION:MSE Seminar Series presents:\n\nBecoming a Scholar: Inequalitie
 s in Experiences and Outcomes in Doctoral Education\n\nJosipa Roksa\nUnive
 rsity of Virginia\n\nAbstract\nFaculty advisors are central to graduate st
 udents’ learning and development. In sociological vernacular\, they are 
 important sources of social capital\, which includes key forms of resource
 s and supports that are embedded in\nrelationships. In this presentation\,
  I will combine findings from different studies emerging from an NSF-funde
 d project including longitudinal surveys and interviews with students enro
 lled in PhD programs in biological sciences\nacross 53 institutions in the
  US. In particular\, I will describe distinct forms of student-advisor rel
 ationships observed in the data\, and how those relationships vary at the 
 intersection of race/ethnicity and gender. Moreover\, I will present data 
 on disparities in service obligations as well as journal publications. Col
 lectively\, these studies illuminate distinct disadvantages experienced by
  women and students from racial/ethnic minority backgrounds\, with importa
 nt implications for mentoring and strategies for creating more equitable o
 utcomes.\n\nBio\nJosipa Roksa is Associate Provost for Undergraduate Educa
 tion and Professor of Sociology and Education. The associate provost for u
 ndergraduate education collaborates with academic and student affairs unit
 s to ensure that all undergraduates\, regardless of their backgrounds or p
 rior experiences\, have opportunities to thrive at UVA. Roksa is currently
  leading initiatives related to academic advising and student success in S
 TEM\, as well as collaborating on efforts to leverage data to support stud
 ents and evaluate progress on new initiatives. Roksa also serves as a liai
 son to student affairs and has responsibility for academic support and und
 ergraduate research and fellowships. Roksa is a sociologist who studies in
 equality in higher education. Much of her current research centers on unde
 rstanding how students’ experiences vary at the intersection of race/eth
 nicity and gender in STEM. She also examines experiences and outcomes of f
 irst-generation and low-income students\, and more broadly the role of soc
 ioeconomic status in shaping students’ trajectories in higher education.
  Roksa earned her Ph.D. in sociology from New York University (NYU) and B.
 A. in psychology from Mount Holyoke College.
