The Centre for Knowledge Integration (CKI) Speaker Series may be of interest to you.
The topic, "Integrating expertise: Improving the advancement of women and minority scientists" is being presented by Dr Carla Fehr from Iowa State University. Dr Fehr will talk about the ISU ADVANCE project, an on-going multi-million dollar interdisciplinary research project aimed at improving recruitment, retention, and advancement of women and under-represented minorities in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM fields) in the academy. http://www.advance.iastate.edu/
The talk is aimed at a general audience and will focus on the project and its collaborative process. While some of the findings will be mentioned, not all of the data have been analyzed yet-- a fuller discussion for another visit perhaps.
