The American Mosaic Project is a multiyear, multi-method study of the bases of solidarity and diversity in American life. The principal investigators of this project are Doug Hartmann, Penny Edgell and Joseph Gerteis at the "https://twin-cities.umn.edu/" Target="_blank">University of Minnesota. The survey portion of the project consists of a random-digit-dial telephone survey (N=2,081) conducted during the summer of 2003 by the "https://uwsc.wisc.edu/" Target="_blank">University of Wisconsin Survey Center. The survey was designed to gather data on attitudes about race, religion, politics and American identity as well as demographic information and social networks.

This data collection contains the results of a sample survey of University of Michigan (U-M), Ann Arbor, faculty, staff, and students meant to represent the full diversity of the community and to capture information and perceptions on demographics, climate, institutional commitment and inclusive and equitable treatment, departmental norms, intergroup interactions, and discrimination. With input from committees of students, faculty, and staff, the survey instrument was developed collaboratively by the U-M Office of the Provost, U-M's Survey Research Center, and administered by SoundRocket, an external social science survey research company. The instrument was delivered as a web survey, and several notifications and reminders were used to encourage completion, as well as an incentive. These notifications and reminders were delivered in phases. Variables in the collection describe age, gender and gender identity, race/ethnicity, school/department/unit, religious affiliation, disability status, campus safety, rating of campus climate, intergroup interaction, discriminatory events, composite rating scores, and more.

This survey includes questions about the public's views about religious diversity, such as attitudes toward and contact with Muslims, Hindus, and Buddhists. The survey was designed by Robert Wuthnow at Princeton University in conjunction with the Responding to Diversity Project sponsored by the Lilly Endowment. The survey also includes questions regarding religious beliefs and practices, and opinions concerning terrorism, interreligious understanding, and national identity. (Religion and Diversity Codebook, Princeton University, Department of Sociology, 2003).

This dataset contains the original responses to a questionaire run in 2016 within the DLDP project about the use and usability of 4 European regional and minority languages on digital media and devices: namely Basque, Breton, Karelian and Sardinian (See http://www.dldp.eu/content/survey-digital-fitness).

The majority of questions were closed questions where respondents had to tick a box, occasionally multiple choice was allowed. A few questions required free text provision. The questionnaire was designed using 'Google Forms' and was run on the same platform in the summer 2016.

The results of the survey are brielfly presented in the DLDP reports available here: http://www.dldp.eu/content/reports-digital-language-diversity-europe

Institutions of higher education are increasingly looking for strategies to assess diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). An alumni survey is a valuable tool for identifying actionable strategies to create a supportive environment for Black students, faculty, and staff, and increase Black student’s success. As an example, our survey’s findings underscored the need for improvements in 1) anti-bias training, 2) academic advising, 3) diversity education in the coursework, 4) hiring and retaining Black faculty, and 5) community organizations for BIPOC students. We recommend the use of an alumni survey to obtain an assessment of campus climate and best strategies for DEI.

This survey was conducted among residents of the South (another sample of Non Southern states is also included) on many topics including race relations, opportunities for minorities, local communities, racial diversity, and inter-racial marriages and adoption. Demographic data include education, religious affiliation, marital status, employment status, income, race, household composition, party affiliation, political ideology,

Equity and Diversity survey results for OC Fair Neighbors, CA conducted by FlashVote

This dataset contains household-level production data for Kedougou, Senegal. It was generated through a 2010 survey of 127 households across 38 villages in the region. Production data was collected at the household level. Quantitative reports of amounts produced for non-staple crops (fruits, vegetables, meat, and dairy) were not reliable because of difficulty recalling amounts produced and exchanged of highly seasonal and marginal food items. Quantitative production data was collected for fonio, maize, millet, peanuts, potatoes, rice, and taro. Qualitative, presence-absence data were collected for bissap, jakatu, cabbage, cassava, okra, and cowpea.

Abstract: The term “diversity,” though widely used, can mean different things. Diversity can refer to heterogeneity, i.e., the distribution of people across groups, or to the representation of specific minority groups. We use a conjoint experiment with a race-balanced, national sample to uncover which properties— heterogeneity or minority representation—Americans use to evaluate how racially diverse a neighborhood is and whether this varies by participants’ race. We show that perceived diversity is strongly associated with heterogeneity. This association is stronger for Whites than for Blacks, Latinos, or Asians. In addition, Blacks, Latinos, and Asians view neighborhoods where their own group is largest as more diverse. Whites vary in their tendency to associate diversity with representation, and Whites who report conservative stances on diversity- related policy issues view predominately White neighborhoods as more diverse than predominately Black neighborhoods. People can agree that diversity is desirable while disagreeing on what makes a community diverse.

The goal of the survey was to examine the determinants and effects of corporate innovations in the realms of harassment prevention and workforce diversity. Data come from a retrospective survey with a stratified random national sample of establishments drawn from the 1999 EEO1 files, matched with confidential government data from EEO1 reports on the workforce composition of surveyed establishments. These confidential data can be obtained through an Intergovernmental Personnel Act (IPA) agreement. The sample was stratified by industry (sampling equally from food, chemicals, computer equipment, transportation equipment, wholesale trade, retail trade, insurance, business services, and health services); by size (selecting 35% of the establishments with fewer than 500 employees in 1999); and by "age" in the EEO-1 dataset (we chose half of the sample from establishments that had been in the dataset since at least 1980, and half from those that had been in the dataset since at least 1992). Surveys were conducted with human resources managers or general managers, who were asked about the adoption of a list of personnel policies and programs and the years of adoption. The survey was conducted in 2002 by the Princeton University Survey Research Center.

Picoplankton (bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotic organisms < 3.0 micron) surveys conducted in collaboration with the U.S. Antarctic Marine Living Resources (AMLR) field research program aimed to study the pelagic ecosystem during month-long winter research cruises in the South Shetland Islands, Scotia Sea and the NW Weddell Sea regions in August, 2012, 2013, and 2014. This inter-annual study on the winter pelagic ecosystem follows a 25-year time series program studying austral summer waters, though is the first survey to also include the characterization of the picoplankton in this study area.

The primary goal of the AMLR winter cruise was to establish the ecological importance of winter processes and plankton distributons particularly as related to sea ice and to capture the hydrography and winter distributions of krill for comparisons with summer conditions over this long times series study. The winter time study will help determine how the template for ecological success is set up for summertime production across all trophic levels.

The picoplankton research will improve the understanding of winter distributions and provide sample collection opportunities for diversity and biogeochemical studies to create an integrated ecosystem picture that will be developed with the NOAA AMLR group. In particular, this effort will extend the geographic coverage of winter picoplankton in the South Shetland Islands region, both on and off the continental slope. This is important to test hypotheses concerning high latitude winter processes that were observed in coastal Antarctic Peninsula waters suggesting the relative importance of chemolithoautotrophy is a key winter-time metabolic process.

Faced with demographic change, many colleges are offering courses on race and ethnicity. How does taking race-centered courses affect public opinion? We theorize that while White, Latino, and Asian American students develop inclusive political attitudes through race-centered coursework, Black Americans may already enter college with a deeper understanding about racial issues. We test these expectations using two longitudinal multi-racial datasets. First, using a national panel survey of college students, we find that ethnic studies coursework is associated with increased recognition of racial discrimination among Whites, Latinos, and even Black Americans. Second, using an original panel survey from a public university, we find reduced racial resentment and increased affirmative action support - albeit varied - among Whites, Latinos, and Asian Americans after completing race-centered political science classes but not in placebo politics classes that were not focused on race. Our findings have implications for conversations about race-centered coursework in higher education.

The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks started a project to characterize the number of species of bumble bees and the relative abundances of these species in southwestern Ontario in support of the Pollinator Health Action Plan. Bumble bees were collected from 46 locations to compare the diversity of bees occurring in agricultural and more natural areas. The data includes: * sampling locations, including GPS coordinates and the county name * the number of bumble bee individuals sampled at each site, listed for each species and for each caste of a species (queen, worker, male) * other site details, such as the date of the site visit View this data on an interactive map This dataset is related to the following: 1.

The survey is from the American Mosaic Project, a multiyear, multimethod study of the bases of solidarity and diversity in American life. The survey contains items measuring the place of diversity in visions of American society and in respondents' own lives; social and cultural boundaries between groups and dimensions of inclusion and exclusion; racial and religious identity, belonging and discrimination; opinions about sources of advancement for Whites and African Americans; opinions about immigration and assimilation; diversity in respondents' close-tie network; political identity and demographic information. The survey also includes oversamples of African American and Hispanic respondents, allowing for comparisons across racial/ethnic categories. Demographic variables include race, age, gender, religion, level of education, United States citizenship status, partisan affiliation, and family income. See Appendix: Project Narrative for more information.

Households within the field sites were randomly selected and administered a survey to capture data on their food shopping practices and preferences and how that related to food safety concerns and practices.
