Episode 128: Why Do We Care About Faculty Diversity? (with Azim Shariff)
Episode 128
Friday, 6 March, 2026
Many academics care about diversity in faculty hiring, but why? Azim Shariff joins the show to talk about his new paper where he describes rationales for diversity in hiring, and an as-yet unpublished study where he asked department chairs how much they actually care about those rationales. We also talk about the empirical evidence for the diversity rationales (it's mixed!), Paul Bloom's argument against viewpoint diversity, and the future of DEI policies in the U.S. Plus, Azim deviates from his long-standing practice of not drinking beer.Special Guest: Azim Shariff.
