Two key aims have been expanding graduate training for students of color and expanding the focus of scientific theorizing, research, and applications in psychology. I argue that history is important for understanding race-related conflict and progress and that cultural context is both a source of obstacles to inclusion (cultural racism) and an important asset in resisting and coping with these obstacles (resilience). I describe ways in which my career represents \u201cdoing diversity.\u201d Specifically, I have (a) helped diversify psychological science through a Minority Fellowship Program that provided PhD training opportunities for more than 1,500 students of color, (b) contributed to understanding psychological issues by spearheading psychological science publications on HIV\/AIDS, homelessness, and abortion; (c) contributed to national conversations and understanding of race by advising the U.S. Department of Defense on assessments of racial and ethnic discrimination in the military and President Clinton\u2019s Race Initiative; and (d) helped conceive and create an institute of world-class scholarship on race (DuBois Institute for African American Research) at Harvard University. I conclude by discussing challenges I faced, what I might have done differently, and how my work was meaningful in my career and life.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/1745691618803637","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,18]],"date-time":"2019-01-18T03:02:17Z","timestamp":1547780537000},"page":"43-48","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Doing Diversity: Creating Spaces, Opportunities, and Change"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"James M.","family":"Jones","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences, University of Delaware"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,1,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-1745691618803637","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijintrel.2017.06.006"},{"key":"bibr2-1745691618803637","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1126\/science.2181664"},{"issue":"11","key":"bibr3-1745691618803637","volume-title":"American Psychologist","volume":"43","author":"Backer T.
