Last fall I shared an interesting webinar series hosted by Arizona State. They are continuing the series this spring with more interesting webinars. The attached pdf has clickable links.
Hi all,
I'm wondering if there's enough mutual interest here to form a group or a committee tasked with developing a climate survey regarding the experiences of STEM scholars who identify as part of under-represented or marginalized communities. In recent years, I've climate surveys released from various universities around the US regarding the experiences of womxn, BIPOC, LGBTQ folk, and students with disabilities, as well as first-gen and low-income students. These surveys can serve as an entry point for better understanding the experiences of marginalized scholars and convert conversations and anecdotal experiences into a more concrete and widely accessible report. We could use this survey to lay the groundwork for a report with recommendations for clearly defined actions that IS-MPMI, other professional societies, universities, etc (who we identify as the target group) can take to make steps towards a more inclusive and equitable STEM community.
Here are a few such…
