Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / Science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) researchers and organizations recognize that a large gender and racial disparity exists in these fields. However, individuals with intersectional identities (i.e., Black women) have unique experiences of bias that preclude them from entering STEM careers and feeling a sense of belonging. As such, featuring an employee that demonstrates allyship for Black women on an organization’s website can be a useful identity-safe cue to signal that a Black woman’s identity will be valued and promote the recruitment of Black women in STEM organizations. Yet, research indicates that Black women who are high in stigma consciousness (i.e., sensitive to potential discrimination based on their identity) do not trust or believe a White woman ally presented in a written profile cares about helping Black women. The current study found that presenting an ally in a video profile mitigated these negative effects of stigma consciousness, and increased Black women’s anticipated belonging and trust in a fictional STEM organization via higher perceptions of allyship. Theoretical implications for research, practical implications for organizations, and future research avenues to explore are discussed

The subject of the diploma thesis was the ideological elaboration of the architectural study of the building for community housing. The proposal follows the elaborated urban concept of Brno Židenice, specifically the territory, which is on the border of the city districts of Zábrdovice and Židenice. Already in this part I considered the social component in the architectural and urban planning designing a substantial representation and in this diploma thesis I further develop this social idea through a concrete house. The whole work is based on two principles, of which I am when designing the object. From the context of today, what effect it has on man, and in particular how this influence changes his way of life and his needs. I am further it was based on the principle of a specific place or city, and I tried in these two aspects to find connections and possible solutions. The result is a residential house, designed so that the very concept of co-housing, roommate, is not anchored only in the building itself, but that its significance could also be transmitted through the walls to the neighboring streets and other public ones space. So that roommates means not just sharing a home, but sharing together in streets and location where our home is located. To learn again to live together and not just side by side.
